Riverland: For Children and their Young-at-Heart Old Folk

by Donna Goddard

For children and their young-at-heart old folk.

When Uncle Tim loses his beloved puppy, a soft-winged angel takes him somewhere unexpected — to Riverland, a magical realm where all the animals we’ve ever loved still live and play. Years later, Rose follows the same path, guided by dreams, feathers, and the wisdom of her Nannie.

Riverland is a tender tale of love, loss, and the healing power of imagination. With gentle humour and spiritual insight, it reminds us that even when something is gone, it’s never truly lost.

A soulful adventure for children and the grown-ups who walk beside them.

Reviews

[Ana Clara · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a very calm and simple book with a nice idea at its center. The message about love for pets and a peaceful afterlife for animals is sweet and easy to understand. It’s the kind of story you read to a child before bed without needing to explain much. Personally, I found it pleasant but very light — there isn’t much happening in terms of plot, so it depends on whether you’re looking for meaning or entertainment. If you want something emotional and soft, it delivers that well.
