A river is born as a raindrop and meanders, spins, runs wild, thunders, and becomes one with the ocean until it rises up into the sky and begins again.

Nature in Collage submitted by Meginator on August 21, 2021, 9:47am This book uses collage illustrations to chart the lifespan of a river (and, poignantly and subtly, a person alongside it) from its beginnings as mountain rain to its eventual merging with the ocean. I was initially put off by the high visual contrast in the pictures, but eventually came to recognize the beauty in the way that Albrecht demonstrates the river’s changing features over time. By the end of the book I found myself deeply emotionally affected in a way that I did not expect from the subject matter. I highly recommend this for readers of all ages; the book’s elegance certainly took me by surprise and I’m glad I stuck with it.
