 o begins Eileen Cameron's poetic rendering of a canyon's creation. Millions of years of geology are captured in 38 thrilling lines. Cameron follows the water's journey down from the mountaintop as it gains power and strength with each mile. "Drops that trickle through crannies" become first a stream that "cascades through the rocks" and then a river that "crashes through boulders. . . digging the river bed, steepening the cliffs." And the canyon is born.Eileen Cameron's words and Michael Collier's stunning photographs convey to the young reader a feeling of awe and wonder for one of nature's most spectacular creations. | |||
