As autumn approaches, a young goose feels an urgent call to action. Watching beavers, squirrels, and bears prepare for winter, she struggles to find her role. Her wings, unsuited for chopping or storing, hold a secret purpose—flight. Join her journey of self-discovery in a world painted with autumn's beauty, where finding one's place means embracing what makes you unique.

From the publisher

Little Goose’s Autumn is a second stunning story from an exciting picture book pairing and the uplifting tale of a lively young goose finding her place in the world. As summer fades to autumn, a lively young goose feels a change in the air and senses she has something important to do - but what? The beavers are chopping wood, the squirrels are storing nuts in the ground and the bears are busy building a den. The plucky little goose tries to join in, but without great success. She realizes her wings weren’t built for chopping wood, or burying food, or building a den, but they were built for something magnificent - they were built for flight . . . A beautiful, lyrical and hopeful story about finding your wings and your place in the world. Written by star picture book author, Elli Woollard with wonderful illustrations by rising talent, Briony May Smith, whose artwork brings an autumnal landscape of mountains and forests to life with truly breathtaking beauty.
