Flowing through the Seasons

Harry Stahl
Illustrated by Cynthia Stahl.

After reading Flowing through the Seasons you will not be surprised to learn that Harry Stahl has spent most of his childhood playing on the banks of a river. In fact, Grass River, the Hutterite community where he grew up, was so named for the river that wrapped itself around the Hof. Each incident in Flowing through the Seasons is drawn from his childhood adventures there. He sees the book as a tribute to the river itself, which was so instrumental in shaping and carving out the characters of the children living there.
