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.

I like when the goose finally found out what she needed to do in the autumn.
I like when the geese flew over and the goose knew to fly with them.
Nice pictures and colures
I liked that he was just doing what he normally does not what other people did
Beautiful book with a wonderful range of vocabulary. Great for reading aloud to a class as the rhymes and rhythm are superb. Briony May Smith's ochre, orange and soft brown illustrations create a visual season of autumn. I would imagine that children (any maybe some grown ups) will identify with little goose; everyone else seems to know what to do except her. This story will be asked for time and time again. A classic.
