Little Moe Can't Fly: Michigan Nature Stories; a story of survival and determination.

Little Moe is a gosling who is a bit slower than his siblings for hatching, waddling, or even swimming. Despite his best efforts, he cannot fly. His brothers and sisters tease him, but Moe is determined to learn how to fly before winter arrives. His mother encourages him, but the weather becomes colder and Moe tries harder without success. Eventually, his father takes his siblings and flies to a warmer climate, but Moe and his mother stay behind until he can take flight. As the season changes, it seems unlikely that Moe will fly until a predator frightens him into action. Finally, Moe manages to fly away to join his family.
