The egg hatches. The gosling imprints on imprints on George and he becomes Goose Daddy. In a race against, time the burning question becomes whether or not George will live long enough to see the goose he names Tootie reach maturity and fly away to join a migrating flock. Three Little Birds, weaves an intricate and true story as Tootie outgrows her awkward stages and learns to fly. George's condition worsens, he is hospitalized and while he fights to stay alive he clings to desperate hope a doctor will burst into his room and announce,"We have found you a new heart"! But when that joyful moment does arrive, miles away, a grieving family is accompanying the body of their loved one to the operating room so the healthy organs can be recovered. Suspenseful, gripping and wistfully compassionate, this emotional story probes the deep and unique bond formed between a man and a wild bird. This is a book you will read and remember each time you look up and see migrating gees in flight"--Amazon.com.
