Once there was a boy called Rowan who lived by a river. ‘It felt like my home.’ Every day, he liked to sit calmly with his dog, watching the water flow and foam. When Rowan felt happy, the water was warm and it sparkled in the sun. When Rowan was sad, the water trickled slowly and it was no fun. Listen for the rush of the water. Rush of the water, rush, rush, rush. x2

As the seasons changed, so did Rowan. ‘My feelings would change ever so fast!’ In spring, the river gave angry splashes as Rowan would stomp past! In summer, the river was happy like Rowan. In autumn, it was very still. In winter, the river and Rowan were cold. ‘It gave me such a chill!’ Listen for the hush of the water. Hush of the water, hush, hush, hush. x2
Follow the pictures
Suddenly, Rowan’s little dog ran away in the bitter winter breeze. Rowan’s heart was frozen like a block of ice. Then the river began to freeze! Rowan longed for the flowing water to return and he missed his little pet. Even in spring, the river did not thaw. ‘My heart could not forget.’ Listen for the hush of the water. Hush of the water, hush, hush, hush. x2

Then one morning, Rowan took an injured bird home. ‘It had a broken wing.’ He fed it well, you really could tell because it began to sing! Rowan’s heart grew warmer and like the river it thawed. ‘It was time to set the bird free!’ Finally, the river and Rowan’s heart were as happy as they could be! Listen for the rush of the water. Rush of the water, rush, rush, rush. x2
