The River

(4) K-3 Translated by Michael Reynolds. A full-page watercolor painting and a brief, poetic paragraph open each of four seasonally devoted sections, setting a spare stage for the wordless vignettes about life on Italy's Po River (Sanna's home). Told through a series of horizontal watercolors, usually four per page, the narratives are vague, but the art--emotive, brilliantly lit, and remarkably beautiful--will speak plenty to viewers.
