Hey Goose! What's Your Excuse?

Paperback (Boys Town Press Sept. 4, 2017)

A heartwarming tale for young children about spreading your wings and finding yourself.


Boone is a gosling, loving life on the water with his family. He feels safe and comfortable in his small corner of the pond, so why would he ever leave?

When Boone's mom and siblings swim off to the opposite shore, he doesn't follow.
He has his reasons, like the water is too cold and deep, and the other shore is too muddy.

But when he sees his family having fun, he wonders what he's missing.
Are they eating doughnuts, having a campfire, or will they see the elusive pond Yeti?

Boone's curiosity soon grows bigger than his fears. He slowly paddles away from his safe space, taking readers on a journey that reveals why leaving your comfort zone can lead to exciting and unexpected places.

This book also includes tips for Parents and educators to use when teaching kids about trying something new, or experiencing things that are outside our comfort zones.

You can read more on the adventures of Boon by reading author Lisa Griffin's second book; Green-Eyed Goose. This time Boon learns to overcome envy and jealousy.
