A review by sammi_jo
The Secret River by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings

5.0

I usually do not add children's books to my goodreads lists, but this was was such a great book that I felt it needed to be on my shelves. First, the story though not one that would seem amazing really is once you think about it. It is a message of hope and faith, do not give up, do not lose hope, do not let your faith falter and you will not only survive but thrive. Second, the illustrations.....I do not know that there are words to describe them besides beautiful and artistic. This book was truly a joy to read.
