Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. Living here in the Pacific Northwest, and being an avid fly fisherman, I watched the saga of the removal of the Elwha dams. It was quite the fascinating process, and I am astounded at how quickly the salmon returned. "A River's Gifts" covers the story extremely well. And is written so that children can read and easily understand it. The book covers the Native American's history, the coming of the settlers, the construction of the dams, the fights to remove the dams, the removal itself, and the aftermath. All well written with great illustrations. This is a fantastic book that will really help young people to understand the story, and perhaps spark their interest in conservation. Highly recommend! no reviews | add a review
