In this charming picture book, Agatha, a skilled weaver, works hard to afford a luxurious new feather bed. Her joy is short-lived, however, when the original owners of the feathers, six indignant geese, arrive to reclaim what's theirs. Inspired by "The Gift of the Magi," this story gently introduces children to the concept of natural resources, the interconnectedness of our actions, and the importance of understanding where things come from. It's a wonderful conversation starter about empathy, responsibility, and the delicate balance between consumption and conservation, suitable for children aged 4-11.
When Agatha buys a new feather bed and six angry naked geese show up to get their feathers back, the incident reminds her to think about where things come from.
