Little Gooseberry is learning to fly. Despite a few bumps along the road, he persists, bolstered by the autumn winds and his friends’ encouragement.
He also notices that while he’s practicing great loops in the air, his friends - Beaver, Red Squirrel, Mouse and Hare are scampering around to prepare for the impending winter. He feels he needs to get ready too.
His parents remind him that geese fly to warmer lands during winter. He’s been preparing for winter, after all!
Excerpt
Suddenly, a little chilly breeze ruffled Gooseberry’s feathers. He began to fee a teeny bit worried.
Winter was coming!
Everyone was preparing for it – except him.
Perhaps he had better hurry up and do something – before it was too late.
