Description

Meet a very cute little gosling! Written by the Julia Donaldson, author of The Gruffalo, and stunningly illustrated by the award-winning Sara Ogilvie, Gozzle is a funny and heartwarming story about family and growing up.

It’s springtime. Bear has woken up hungry and finds a lost egg outside his cave. Breakfast? No! Out hatches Gozzle, a very sweet little gosling who is convinced that Bear must be her daddy – and that she should be able to climb, dig and eat honey just like him.

Follow Bear on his journey from reluctant carer to parent in this heartwarming and joyous picture book about what home and family truly mean.

A laugh-out loud story from the creators of the bestselling picture books, The Detective Dog, winner of the Books Are My Bag Readers’ Award, and The Hospital Dog, winner of the Indie Book Awards.

When the bookseller matches the book cover...๐Ÿ’›

If you've built an online following as a 'Trad Wife' who lives and lectures your followers on 'the true American family dream', waking up on a homestead 1800s should be a walk in the park, right? 
Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke is like if The Handmaid's Tale, Kindred, and The Stepford Wives had a literary baby. It will horrify, it will entrance, it will unsettle. ๐Ÿ„

Grab signed copies in-store while they last!
