This lyrical, richly illustrated story gives readers an engaging glimpse into the life cycle of Canada geese.

On a chilly spring day, Goose and Gander flap down toward a little island just beginning to thaw out after a long winter. It is here that they will build a nest, lay eggs, and wait. And wait. And…wait. For the goslings to arrive. During all that waiting—through sun and snow, day and night—Goose keeps their eggs warm, while Gander protects the little island.
