The Columbia's Wild Wonders
From Gorge to Ocean: The Columbia's Wild Wonders takes young readers on a vibrant journey along the mighty Columbia River as it flows from the dramatic Columbia River Gorge to the vast Pacific Ocean. Along the way, children discover the rich wildlife that calls this remarkable ecosystem home.
Through playful rhymes and vivid scenes, the story introduces a wide variety of animals living both on land and in the water. Readers encounter bears catching salmon, deer leaping through meadows, coyotes howling at dusk, and hawks circling high above the riverbanks. Beneath the surface, sturgeon glide along the riverbed while crawdads dart away from hungry bass. As the river reaches the coast, seals bark along the shore, and whales leap from the deep blue sea.
Each page celebrates the interconnected life of the Columbia River region, highlighting the beauty and diversity of its animals and landscapes. The journey ends with local families enjoying the river's natural wonders, reminding readers that this environment is a precious gift meant to be shared and protected.
Filled with rhythm, adventure, and appreciation for nature, From Gorge to Ocean inspires curiosity about wildlife and encourages young readers to value the natural world around them.
