Description

Let rivers flow this spring issue of A Year and a Day Magazine, Issue 17 and learn all about the wonder and beauty of rivers. 

As the snow and ice melts away in the spring, rivers roar awake with sound. Rivers and riverbanks are home to a rich variety of plants and animals and are wonderfully diverse habitats. Throughout human history, humans have revered and recognized the power of rivers, using them for transportation, as territory markers, and as sources of food.

In this issue, you will read three traditional tales that help answer some questions about rivers such as, how are they formed and who makes the river their home? By the time you finish reading this issue, you will be able to make a river swimmer, create a dot painting, write a river song, bake a beaver tail… and so much more!
