Purchase options and add-ons

Emmy Award–winning animator Maciek Albrecht’s picture book They Call Me River is a moving story about a river and the cycle of life, from raindrop to ocean.

In this beautiful and moving tribute, a river is born and carried along. It plays, sparkles, grows, moves. It rushes, falls, is still. It carries. And when a river reaches the sea, it becomes it, and then it rises up into the sky, rains down, and begins again. Not unlike life.

“Albrecht follows a narrating river from its origin to the ocean with simple, songlike writing and striking artwork.” —Publishers Weekly

“An affecting metaphor for the cycle of life.” —Kirkus Reviews

Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2021
Beautifully illustrated with a beautiful message, using the RIVER as a metaphor for the circle of life. For children but with a certain sophistication.
