One winter in a marsh near their home close to the Chesapeake Bay, a brother and sister find a Canada goose decoy that comes to life and shares her sad story with them.
In early spring, Canada Goose patiently sits on a clutch of eggs for several weeks then, when five fluffly goslings finally hatch, she and her mate teach them all they need to know about swimming, finding food, taking care of themselves, and, finally, flying.
