Edward the White Goose
Edward the White Goose: A Story of Adoption. ISBN 978 0 692 95942 8 , Lollipop Books.
First time author Francie Aguilera has teamed with illustrator Katia Goa to give Pre K- 2nd Grade students a timely and much needed fable. Few books are found for this age group that address topics of loss of family, adoption and self-identity without being heavy handed. The illustrations by Goa transport Edward throughout his journey to go on his own and find out about life. But it is the story told by Aguilera that will comfort those children who feel a sense of loss or a challenge to how they look. This brief story charts Edwards' desire to break free from an adoptive family and search for identity with other geese with the same color feathers as his. Edward finds that looks can be deceiving and new friendships can be shallow. He becomes the "prodigal" goose who returns home where he knows he will be accepted. In todays' world of family hardship and transition, Edward will soar in the minds of readers and listeners. Edward the White Goose will offer comfort and reflection on what matters in life and how appearances may not be all they seem to be.
A definite "buy" for all collections.
