Step into a world of rivers and waterways in Georgia’s coastal basins, where thriving creatures and beautiful plants stir the imagination and call out to whimsy.The Georgia coast is home to a wide variety of rivers, streams, tributaries, and estuaries that empty into the Atlantic Ocean, creating an incredible ecosystem that is rich with life. Thousands of animals, plants, and insects thrive in rivers, beautiful marshlands, beaches, and on the banks of waterways, stirring up the imagination in wonder.In this new picture book, children can learn to fall in love with the flora, fauna, and landscapes of the coastlands. Featuring colorful illustrations by the talented Patrick Carlson (Benjamin’s Gift and What Good is a Dragon?), the book is a gorgeous love letter to the climes that make Georgia such an incredible state to live in.Author Amber Allison grew up in Georgia, exploring the coastal waters with her family. Recalling deeply treasured memories served as an inspiration for her book. Her great-grandparents picked oysters and crabs for food and income, and her parents put dinner on the table by way of nets cast out on the water. Allisons family has a large shrimp boat that trawls the waters for a bountiful harvest.Down by the River shares Allison’s joy in the region by capturing the same feelings and images that touched her childhood. Perfect for Georgia residents who want to instill that same delight in their homeland within their kids and grandkids, this book is a can’t-miss opportunity to fall in love with the water as a family.
