I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

Dart is a long-form poem about the river Dart in Devon. It follows the flow of the river from source to the sea whilst also exploring those we find along the river. Oswald uses the voices of real people she interviewed to inform the voices in her poem and the authenticity truly comes across, whilst weaving in mythic and historic cultural voices too.

A beautiful picture book, with an important message.

Ron Rash is a local author. This is my favorite book by him. Set in a small town in the same county I live in here in Upstate SC.

The Rivers of America series started in 1937 and 65 volumes were eventually published, usually authored by literary figures, rather than historians. This is an excellent one containing a lot of great stories from early Western NC and Eastern TN history. Dykeman was a regional writer but a pioneer, considering she was a woman and wrote a lot about ecological concerns, long before the 1970s.

It takes a while to address what the child is dealing with (stuttering), which may create opportunity for many children dealing with different speech things to find a connection with the text. The art and poetry in this book are beautiful. #PictureBook #DisabilitiesRep
