I Love You Like A River

Wild Arts Festival is excited to welcome back New York Times best-selling author and illustrator Nancy Tillman. Her latest book, I Love You Like a River, casts another beautiful spell in words and visuals as it showcases children, caregivers, nature and the power - and poetry - of love. With artfully layered illustrations where dreamy watercolors meet photorealism, it will be sure to both soothe and delight the reader. Other wonderful works include Because You’re Mine, On the Night You Were Born, and many others. Her work always incorporates nature and animals, which she uses to create warmth, comfort, and emotional connection. Whether she’s creating books that remind children of their own unique wonder or helping parents express deep love for their children, all of Nancy's books feature one important message: You are loved. Originally from Alabama, Nancy now lives in Oregon.
