Give her the River: A father's wish for his daughter
Michael Dennis Browne
Paintings by Wendell Minor
Picture Book
Ages 3 to 6
Simon and Schuster, 2004, 0-689-84326-7
Here is a father who wants to give his daughter a wonderful gift - the river. For him the river means beautiful sights, sounds, feelings and experiences. There is seeing "the river at dawn" with swans floating across its glass like surface; there is swinging in the swing which hangs near the "old stone steps" where little blue flowers are blooming; there are the soft sounds of the water going by.
These two spend a lot of their time on and around the river, enjoying its beauty all year round.
With atmospheric lyrical text the author of this book superbly conveys a father's love for his daughter. There is the love that they share for the river, its moods, its gifts, its animals and its visitors.

Action Alert
Reading is Fundamental (RIF) needs your help. The President's proposed fiscal year 2009 budget released in February eliminates the Inexpensive Book Distribution Program, which is the RIF Book Distribution Program. Unless Congress reinstates funding for this program, RIF will be unable to distribute 16 million books annually to the nation's youngest and most at-risk children. RIF serves 4.6 million children. Please click on the link below to visit the RIF Action Alert page so you can make your voice heard and support their efforts.
