Description
A beautiful and uplifting story about a little goose finding her place in the world, from the talented creators of Little Bear's Spring.
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, burying food, or building a den, but they were built for something magnificent - they were built for flight!
Little Goose's Autumn is a 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.

About the Author
Elli Woollard turned to writing after an embarrassing incident in which her youngest son broke Michael Rosen's glasses. She is now the author of several books, including The Giant of Jum, The Dragon and the Nibblesome Knight, The Great Gran Plan, Dinosaurs Don't Draw, The Adventures of Swashbuckle Lil and a rhyming re-told edition of Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories. After spending many years in Thailand, where she missed the changing seasons, she now lives in London, England, with her husband, four children, and a mad cat. In the Spring, she loves to go to the park, where she runs through the daffodils and watches the ducklings and goslings on the lake. Briony May Smith grew up in Berkshire, England, playing in the garden with her younger brother and sister. She studied Illustration at Falmouth University and was Highly Commended for the Macmillan Children's Book Prize in 2013 and 2014. Her previous books include Imelda and the Goblin King (Flying Eye Books), Tooth Fairy in Training by Michelle Robinson and Stardust by Jeanne Willis (Candlewick Press). She now lives in Devon, where her work day mainly consists of drawing fairies, interrupted only when her dog, Finbar, demands his walk. Briony's work is inspired by fairy tales, folklore, and life in the country. Together, Elli Woollard and Briony May Smith are also the creators of Little Bear's Spring.
