Heart of the River

By Eileen Delehanty Pearkes

Heart of the River

Written from the perspective of the Columbia River, this spare, poetic narrative tells the story of the river from its geological formation to the present-day. Extensive hydro-electric power projects have stilled much of the river’s natural flow and eliminated salmon runs on parts of the main stem and many of its tributaries. Lavishly illustrated by Nichola Lytle, the book touches audiences of all ages as it asks readers to reconsider the impact of industrial water projects.
