A New Adventure!

All his life, the little boy has heard his mother’s stories about the small village she grew up in. The children played in the river that had mountains on both sides.

But when they went to visit, it was now a great big city, with large buildings everywhere, not homes. The river now has cement sidewalks on each side, but there are steps that lead down to the water.

The mother takes her little boy down the stairs, and they both get in the water and play. Soon others join them, everyone laughing and having a good time. Even though the changes in the village made the little boy sad, the river is still the same way his mother described it, and it is lots of fun.

Children will enjoy hearing what it was like when the mother was a child, as well as, hearing about the changes that have taken place. They will really like hearing about being in the river. It is a great story that shows how things can still be fun, even if they are not what is expected. So, give things a chance that are different, they may even be better!

This five-star picture book will be enjoyed by ages three to seven-years-old.
