ALL THE WAY TO THE RIVER

by then had become a distant second fiddle to the relationship with Rayya), and the two became lovers. There was a good part, and then a very bad part in the months leading up to Rayya’s death in 2018. The book also follows the story of Gilbert’s subsequent recovery from sex and love addiction through devoted adherence to a 12\u002Dstep program. Since she does not “have the heart to write out the excruciating details of the binge that I went on” after Rayya died, citing concern for the privacy of others, she focuses instead on the spiritual and emotional progress she has finally been able to achieve, documented in earnest poems and winsome doodles as well as well\u002Dwritten anecdotes. “Readers of my earlier work may remember that I reached nearly this same level of peace and tranquility back when I was in India, in the middle of my Eat Pray Love travels, after months of disciplined prayer, meditation, and retreat.” The difference this time, she says, is that she has the support she needs not to “drive my life off a cliff all over again.”"

Our Review

This vibrant counting adventure takes young readers on a journey from one to ten, following a diverse group of children as they explore the wonders of a winding river. Each page introduces a new number through engaging, nature-filled scenes, from one sun-drenched morning to ten shimmering fish, making number recognition a joyful and immersive experience. The rhythmic, lyrical text is perfectly paced for read-aloud sessions, while the rich, detailed illustrations invite children to count and discover new elements with every viewing.

What sets this early math concept book apart is its seamless integration of a gentle narrative with foundational learning, transforming a simple counting exercise into a memorable outdoor expedition. Parents and educators will appreciate the subtle emphasis on observation and the natural world, while children will be captivated by the search-and-find aspect of the vibrant artwork. This is a standout addition to the preschool and kindergarten bookshelf that makes mastering numbers feel like a grand adventure.
