Produced by the National Film Board of Canada/A film by Gayle
Thomas
A brilliantly animated story, told without narration. A boy
protects and cares for an injured wild goose and they become
friends. The film, which shows human kindness respectful of
nature's ways, can begin discussion of attitudes toward, and
handling of, animals; the courage to disagree with one's peers;
respect for intrinsic needs; and responsibility and
resourcefulness. With Discussion Guide.
