The Lonely Goose is based on a true story from my childhood. Growing up on a pond, I watched the same pair of geese return to raise goslings every spring. My family cheered on Mama and Papa Goose every year, as their new brood grew to adulthood. We watched with particular delight, each time a group of goslings began flight lessons. Learning to fly was necessary in order to migrate south for the winter. One year, Mama and Papa Goose encountered a gosling who refused to fly. They were faced with having to make the decision to leave him behind that winter. My family watched, through the winter months, as that one lonely goose took on a new determination to learn to fly on his own, and be reunited with his family. It was a rocky road for the lonely little goose, but my family cheered him on, throughout his trying ordeal. As a child, I learned an important lesson about family and determination from this courageous and dedicated group of geese. I have written The Lonely Goose in such a way as to inspire children to let their own determination bud, while simultaneously cultivating a deeper love of the natural world God created for us.
