Title: The illustrated Father Goose
First published: 1995
Description: Tells the inspiring and true story of Bill Lishman (aka Father Goose), a sculptor, animal lover and environmentalist who realized that due to human interference with their migratory patterns, many birds were losing the instinct to fly south in the winter. Through the eyes of his daughter Carmen, we watch as Bill's life-long dream to fly with the birds becomes a reality. He designs and builds an ultralight plane, and trains a flock of geese to follow it south to Virginia. Will they return in the spring?
