The Story of Rosy Dock by Jeannie Baker

People say Rosy Dock is the oldest river! It's surrounded by a dersert. For thousands of years nothing has been changed. The land was hot and dry of course. The wind blew very strong. It hardly rained. But hidden in prehistoric mountains there are ancient oases. The river was mostly covered with sand. One day the black clouds came. The rain poured hard and there were noisy sounds coming from the storms. The whole place was flooding. Then..... the sea was slowly fading away and the desert blossomed with flowers. A few days later the whole land was filled with red seedpods.
I think the illustrations and the story is brilliant. The book is great for all ages.
