숲속을 흐르는 강을 따라 짜릿한 모험을 시작한 동물들의 이야기를 다룬 그림책입니다. 지금껏 따로따로 살아왔던 동물들이 같은 통나무배를 타면서 ‘함께하는 즐거움’을 깨닫는 내용입니다. 서로 다른 동물들이 같은 강을 따라 흐르는 것처럼, 우리 역시 서로 다르지만 ‘인생’이라는 같은 강을 흐른다는 단순한 진리를 은유적으로 탁월하게 표현한 작품으로, 2020 칼데콧 아너상을 수상했습니다.

A Caldecott Honor Book!

A cheerful and action-packed adventure about the importance of friendship and community from a successful author and illustrator duo!

Once there was a river flowing through a forest. The river didn't know it was capable of adventures until a big bear came along. But adventures aren't any fun by yourself, and so enters Froggy, Turtles, Beaver, Racoons, and Duck.

These very different animals take off downstream, but they didn't know they needed one another until thankfully, the river came along.

This hilarious picture book and heartfelt message celebrates the joy and fun that's in store when you embark together on a ride of a lifetime.
