River My Friend William Bell illustrated by Ken Campbell

Gang-gang, the son of a fisherman, is content with his life by the river until he begins to understand the depth of his family's poverty. Determined to help, the boy is convinced that all he must do is find so many silver coins that they will never want for anything again. But silver coins don't fall from the sky or ride the waves of the boy's beloved river, waiting to be gathered into his net. And it is not until his foolish search nearly ends in tragedy that Gang-gang learns the nature of true wealth.

The author of The Golden Disk, No Signature and the award-winniiig Forbidden City and Five Days of the Ghost, William Bell lives in Orillia, ON, where he teaches high school English.

An accomplished gallery artist, Ken Campbell's love of the outdoors found its way into his work and led to his first book for children, Tides of Change, written by Sheryl McFarlane. Ken lives in Victoria, BC, where he is the owner and art director of a graphic design firm.
