Goose's Story

Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR)
ISBN: 9780374327507
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 32
Book Description
Sometimes the most unlikely heroine can become an inspiration Every year the geese return. Honking and flapping, they always land in groups. But this spring something is different: an injured goose stands on one leg – alone. Shunned by the other geese, she is unable to search for food, swim, or fly away. A young girl watches and wonders how a goose with one foot can survive. She wants to feed her, take care of her, be her friend. But her mother warns that “a wild goose has to learn to live with her weakness. Or she won’t live at all.” It takes patience and courage for both goose and girl to let nature take its course. Told from a child’s point of view, and based on a true story, this simple, telling, and triumphant picture book is wonderfully illustrated in the bold paper-collage art of Holly Meade.

Book Description
Luce the Goose, is based on a true story. This beautiful white wild Pilgrim goose showed up at our house one day. In fact, Luce didn't just show up, it appeared he was infatuated with his own reflection in my black Jeep. For days, every time I looked out the window, he was back - just staring at his own reflection. The question that took us some time to answer was, "did he just like looking at himself" or "did he think his reflection was another goose that could be his friend?" The photographs in this book help capture some of the most memorable moments of Luce's quest for love. As amazing as this true story is, the real amazement is the lesson that Luce teaches us all!
