Chasing Waters
This is a children’s picture book for early readers that blends folklore and adventure, inviting young explorers to see rivers as living histories that carry stories, legends, and lessons about the world we share. The central theme centers on rivers as sources of memory and community, evolving as landscapes change. It’s written for curious readers who love imaginative journeys, myth, and lush illustrations, with an adventurous, thoughtful tone that’s both stirring and comforting.
The tale unfolds after a school-day misadventure as three siblings meet a mysterious old woman and set off on a coracle to follow the river’s current. Eleven timeless myths of India’s rivers are woven through the narrative, blending ancient legends with contemporary concerns about water, conservation, and community resilience. The reading experience is story-led and illustrated with beautiful line-art that brings landscapes, legends, and moments of wonder to life. The text is accessible and lyrical, designed for read-aloud sessions and independent reading, and its design supports activity-based learning through prompts that invite discussion and hands-on thinking. Readers are invited to connect the legends to today’s world, exploring culture, environment, and belonging in a gentle, reflective way.
