About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling overstimulated by the noise of a busy household or is struggling to find their place within a group. It is a perfect choice for those 'I want to be alone' moments that often precede a need for comfort and connection. Through the journey of Suzy Goose, children explore the natural tension between the desire for independence and the inherent need for safety in numbers. Petr Horacek's vibrant, bold illustrations bring to life a story about a goose who seeks quiet in the woods, only to encounter various noisy (and potentially scary) animals. The rhythmic text and repetitive structure make it highly engaging for preschoolers and early elementary students. It beautifully validates a child's need for personal space while gently reminding them that the 'honk and hiss' of family life is actually a sign of belonging and protection.
