Beautiful story about making a difference in the world

The concept of an anthropomorphic stream didn’t work for me but agree with the message. And too many ellipses, very distracting...

However, the watercolor illustrations are beautiful!

Although this is listed as a children's book I think it's a poetic book that would appeal to both adults and children with the watercolor illustrations and measured text

This is a book about life. About the seasons and cycles of life. About achievement, overcoming fears and obstacles, and success. It is a wonderful story.
