Kids’ Book Launch: Natasha Peterson at Carleton Place Public Library

11:00am – 12:00pm
Carleton Place resident Natasha Peterson debuts Gayle the Goose Goes Global, a children’s book that is both a feel good story & educational.
Gayle is a regular Canada Goose, except for one thing. She is directionally-challenged. When her frustrated flock flies away leaving Gayle behind at migration time, Gayle is forced to either sit back and wait for their return, or take matters into her own wings by migrating on her own. Gayle takes on the challenge of a lifetime, and migrates alone. While on her journey, Gayle visits many of Canadian greatest landmarks and learns that she can both survive and thrive on her own. When Gayle returns to share her adventures with the rest of her flock, the geese begin to wonder if her quirkiness may be just what the flock was missing. Perhaps a change from the ordinary routine would do them all a little good.
