About this title

Synopsis:

Winter seems as though it will never end, especially when you're tired of putting on gloves, mittens, hats, and snowpants. It makes you wonder if summer will ever arrive. But one spring night, you will hear the sound of distant honking and see a flock of geese flying by the light of the moon -- the goose moon. It will be a sure sign that summer is on the way. Inspired by Native American folklore, this heartfelt story by Carolyn Arden is beautifully illustrated by Jim Postier.

From the Publisher:

Winter is fun, but after months of bundling up and staying indoors, kids start longing for summer. They want to swim, chase fireflies, and feel the grass tickle their bare feet again. But when will summer be here? In this heartwarming picture book, a girl living in the country learns from her grandfather that she has to watch and listen for the signs of Spring. "Maybe you'll notice that the birds are singing louder each morning, or that suddenly there's more mud under your feet than snow," he says. "You might feel a warm breeze blowing through your hair when you're playing outside. Then you'll know the Goose Moon is coming and summer can't be far behind." Illustrated in glowing watercolors by Minnesota native Jim Postier and written from the heart by Carolyn Arden, Goose Moon is a comforting book about nature's cycles and the special bond a child and grandparent can share.
