About this item
by John J. Paiva (Author)
In the cool, clear streams of the Pacific Northwest, a tiny salmon stirs-an egg about to hatch, a life about to begin.
From shimmering alevin to darting fry, from river to sea, Ready to Run follows the breathtaking journey of one of nature's most determined travelers. Told in seventeen lyrical stanzas, this poetic tale captures the wonder, courage, and resilience of the salmon's life cycle as it faces hungry birds, racing currents, and the mysteries of the deep.
Through vivid language and gentle rhyme, young readers will dive beneath rippling waters, swim beside schools of silver fish, and feel the powerful pull of home that calls every salmon back to where it all began.
A story of growth, survival, and renewal, Ready to Run celebrates the beauty of nature's endless rhythm-and the extraordinary spirit of a creature born to keep moving forward.
Perfect for ages 3-10, this book is ideal for story time, classroom exploration, or quiet wonder at bedtime.
