Description
Winner of the McNally Robinson Book for Young People Award (Younger Category), 2009 Manitoba Book Awards
Many years ago, by a lake in Northern Canada, a young girl named Marie found a wordless understanding with a special goose that would change her life. A gentle and moving story of love, faith and letting go, Goose Girl marks a new direction for Joe and Matrine McLellan after 10 enduring books in the Nanabosho series, with sumptuous illustrations from Rhian Brynjolson.
