About this ebook
In this lyrical and poignant nonfiction book about loss, follow the lives of a pair of Canada geese as they perform their courtship rituals, raise nests full of chicks, and migrate with the seasons... until one goose has to brave the world alone.
Here is how he won her over:
He was the best dancer with the most powerful moves.
He hissed loudly and bravely.
He had a long, sleek neck and a fine bill.
This is a stunningly illustrated, moving picture book about two geese bonded for life. They have six eggs, and then six chicks, and they teach them how to fly. But when one of the geese in the partnership becomes ill and dies, what happens to its partner goose? She is forced, suddenly, to brave the world on her own—until a new partner goose comes along, calling to her with his own powerful moves. With scientific facts, a beautiful text, and gorgeous art work, young readers will find themselves inspired to take a closer look at the natural world around them.
