NOMINATED FOR A CARNEGIE MEDAL FOR ILLUSTRATION 2026.
From the creative duo behind A Shelter for Sadness and The Boy, the Troll and the Chalk comes a heartwarming picture book about friendship, flying and the joy of sharing books.
Once upon a time, there was a little girl and a gosling who loved each other very much - and loved reading books together even more. But one day, there is a book the girl will not share. Before Gosling can peek inside, she slams the book shut and says: "I don't like this book. Let's play something else." When their new book mysteriously disappears, the girl and the gosling's friendship is put to the test.
Then one night, Gosling finds the missing book and leaves. Will the girl be able to put things right before it's too late?
This reassuring story teaches children that honesty and trust are what help friendships fly and is effortlessly brought to life by David Litchfield's atmospheric scenes and Anne Booth's warm and rich storytelling. The perfect bookshelf companion to The Duck Who Didn't Like Water, I'm Sticking With You and Pip & Egg.
Anne Booth writes highly acclaimed children's fiction and picture books and is known for the exceptional warmth and authenticity of her writing. Her picture books include Refuge, illustrated by Sam Usher, and Little Cloud, illustrated by Sarah Massini.
