The Time-Travelling River

Written by Parinita Shetty
Illustrated by Sunaina Coelho

Imagine all the stories rivers could tell us about the past, present and future! Rivers were there when humans wanted to grow food. They were there when humans started to build cities. They are still here, providing water, food and livelihoods. But they are also being treated like rubbish bins. Rivers know how to take care of us, but if we want a future with them, maybe it is time for humans to take care of our precious water bodies.

Suggested age, readers, English difficulty and US school grade are separate labels. Age groups are guidance based on source information or editorial review; unreviewed books are “Not assessed”. A US grade is assigned only with source information or a documented assessment; otherwise it is “Not assessed”. Levels use A1–C2 to indicate reading difficulty. StoryWeaver levels 1/2/3/4 use our approximate A1/A2/B1/B2 guide, labelled “estimated”; this is not an official equivalence. A book-specific assessment takes priority. Other unassessed books are labelled “Not assessed”. Source StoryWeaver levels are retained separately. Classics retain their original English.
