Rivers are vital to our country's health and leisure. They provide fresh water for our agriculture and most of our drinking water. The calming sound of the moving water and the landscape it is embellished with are magical. Rusty the Ranch Horse lives in one of the most beautiful places in the west next to the Platte River. It is a very busy place that changes with all four of the seasons and is home to many critters. Enjoy the scenery as you read why Rusty loves the river. The beautiful bold watercolor illustrations and rhyming words are created way out west in Wyoming. Get your copy of Rusty and the River and be inspired to seek out a river near you.
