I received a copy of this arc from Netgalley for an honest review. Gerbert the gosling was born a little weaker than his siblings and is a little different. Everyone loves him but know his time on earth will be shorter than his siblings. As his life is winding down, he gives a feather for each creature in his life. Beautiful book, sad, but lovey too.

Just cried my eyes out reading this story. Beautifully written story of about death and dying. Great read for any age. Letting go is so heartbreaking for everyone. Kudos Meaghan Weaver, beautiful story. Illustrations were so realistic and touching. They added so much to the story. Kudos to Lori Wiener. great work, overall.

I can’t imagine a more difficult topic to broach than that of death with a child who is dying, yet this book does so beautifully. Lovely illustrations compliment the story. The author's note encourages the reader to talk about their feelings and I believe this book will help them do so. I hope whoever is reading this review never has need of the book, but if you do, I recommend it with love.
