River Remembers

Every year, Cheesewood gathers for the Feast of Lights. Thirty-seven lanterns, thirty-seven families, thirty-seven names remembered. But when a single lantern drifts away, the river takes more than flame-it takes quarrels, secrets, and the chance for something new.

Told in a folkloric voice and paired with enchanting illustrations, Rivers Remember invites children ages 5-10 into a world where rivers never hurry, lanterns never forget, and even the slightest mistake can carry a spark of hope downstream.
