OverviewEvery spring, the geese touch down on the pond in a honking, flapping celebration. But this year, one of them is different. As it stands on one leg--shunned by the other geese, unable to search for food, to swim, or even to fly away--a young girl wonders: how can a goose with one foot survive? A heartwarming story with a tender message about accepting others in spite of their differences and helping those who are less able. --Starred, School Library Journal Best's simple prose is rhythmic and beautiful . . .
