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 . . . Every child who has nursed an injured creature will recognize the bond, the distance, and the hope. " --Starred, Booklist
