A poignant picture book about a boy caught between two homes, who finds peace and belonging with his grandfather and the snow geese that return each year.
On a weekend when mom can’t have him, and dad can’t either, a young boy stays with his pops. He sleeps on the couch, and pops wakes him early, when it’s still dark. After a ride in the old truck, past farms and houses that are still sleeping, they pull off the main road. Wrapped in plaid blankets and holding a too-hot thermos of cocoa, they wait. Side by side. Listening. Watching. And then–a sound. A sky filled with wings. And then a field transformed, turning bright white. The snow geese have arrived. With a lyrical voice and breathtaking illustrations, here is the deeply moving story of a child navigating a challenging family situation, and discovering comfort and connection with the rhythms of nature–and with a loving, present grandfather.Author: Angela Burke Kunkel
