This is a wonderful tale full of imagery and imagination.  A must read for any young adult.  It is a timeless classic about the Mississippi River.  This is a true tale about a real artist’s struggles.

Join the artist as he struggles to overcome obstacles on his journey to discover the natural beauty that is the Mississippi River.  He begins by forming a plan of action.  He will paint the river.  First he needs a boat, funding, and supplies.  With determination and an unflagging will, he accomplishes his goal and conquers a river.  Now, he must take his sketches and bring them to life.  He does this by painting them on a 3 mile long canvas.  He then puts it on rollers to create the first motion picture.  The Mississippi comes to life as the painting scrolls across the stage.  He fills the room with images by narrating his adventure.  Audiences are spell bound.

Both nature lovers and Eco enthusiasts will love having their children discover the splendor of the mighty Mississippi.
