What a lovely and beautifully illustrated book about facing your fears! This is a wonderful book for young readers and for parents to read to their children.
Trevor is a Canadian Goose who couldn’t fly. All the other geese can fly, but not Trevor. Winter is approaching and it’s time to migrate. Trevor is afraid yet determined. He did not like being alone during winter while the other geese flew south. He was going to try and fly! Trevor was fearful but determined and used creative thinking to set about achieving his goal.
I loved the message of this book. That it is okay to be anxious to do things; especially when doing them for the first time. That if one starts by taking small steps and keeps trying, one can achieve their goals. I appreciated how the author’s approached anxiety in a gentle manner and gave children a character with whom they can relate. The message that it is okay to be nervous but to keep trying, to go for your goals, and to celebrate your accomplishments.
Another plus of this book is the information/facts on Canadian Geese.
Thank you to Ben Jackson and Sam Lawrence who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
