Charles and his younger sisters take daily trips to a creek that runs behind their house; The Branch as they call it. This place is magical to them because after each rain they discover something new in the waters. One day after the rain they stumble upon something they've never seen before. This something creates a new purpose for their visits. The Children and George is an endearing tale of a boy and his sisters and the many treasures they find at their special place, The Branch.
Charles Criner was born in 1945 and raised in Athens, a small town in East Texas. He attended Texas Southern University in Houston between 1964 and 1968, studying under the guidance of the renowned late artist, Dr. John T. Biggers.
