“Papa Goose is destined to become a classic. This book has everything in it I love: great animals beautifully portrayed as individuals; cool science; drama, discovery, and personal transformation.” —Sy Montgomery, author of Birdology and The Soul of An Octopus The charming true story of one man’s journey to raise seven goslings in the name of science. In Papa Goose, Michael Quetting shares the hilarious and moving true story of how he became a father to seven rambunctious goslings—and the surprising things he learned along the way. Starting right at the beginning, with the eggs, his journey takes him from the incubator all the way to the airstrip, where he must attempt to teach the geese to fly as part of an ambitious scientific research initiative for the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology, which tracks animal migrations around the world. For the next eleven months, we follow the newly minted dad as he takes the goslings on daily swims in the lake, tracks them down when they go astray, and watches their personalities develop: feisty, churlish, and lovable. Packed with charm and humor, Papa Goose quickly draws us into the adventure as Gloria, Nemo, and the rest of the crew conquer land, water, and air.

"Corporations rise quickly in today's China, and none are more successful than the Bashful Goose Snack Company. Founded by the self-made Papa Hui, the company is a national treasure, as is his beloved pet goose. Meanwhile, Papa Hui's daughter, Kelly, is desperate to prove herself to her father, and take her rightful place as the heir to his empire. But Lulu, the woman with the most lustrous hair in China, and Wang Xilai, the disturbed celebrity hair-stylist farming Lulu for extensions, stand in Kelly's way--not to mention that infernal goose! From a middle school mogul to a talking turtle, a grotesque "fat camp" for children to a mythical settlement of ex-millionaires, Carly J. Hallman's vision of a fragmented Chinese society is brimming with bawdy humor and sharp wit. In the absurdist tradition of the great contemporary Chinese author Mo Yan comes a searing, yet whimsical portrayal of wealth and ambition in an ogliarchical, tabloid-driven society, not so unlike our very own."--Provided by publisher.

The Lonely Goose is based on a true story from my childhood. Growing up on a pond, I watched the same pair of geese return to raise goslings every spring. My family cheered on Mama and Papa Goose every year, as their new brood grew to adulthood. We watched with particular delight, each time a group of goslings began flight lessons. Learning to fly was necessary in order to migrate south for the winter. One year, Mama and Papa Goose encountered a gosling who refused to fly. They were faced with having to make the decision to leave him behind that winter. My family watched, through the winter months, as that one lonely goose took on a new determination to learn to fly on his own, and be reunited with his family. It was a rocky road for the lonely little goose, but my family cheered him on, throughout his trying ordeal. As a child, I learned an important lesson about family and determination from this courageous and dedicated group of geese. I have written The Lonely Goose in such a way as to inspire children to let their own determination bud, while simultaneously cultivating a deeper love of the natural world God created for us.
