520			_aGerbert, a special young goose, prepares for his death by whispering words of power to his flight feathers and giving them to family and friends before his final migration. This beautifully-illustrated book tackles the very difficult subject of preparing a child for death. When Gerbert becomes increasingly frail, he feels some relief knowing that he won't be accompanying his family on their annual migration south, and experiences comfort at the thought that he will soon be with his grandmother who died some years ago. Gerbert gives mementos of himself to his family, in the form of his feathers, which he infuses with words of support so that his loved ones will always remember him. The text and pictures can help prompt parents/guardians and children to talk about illness, dying and death. These are supplemented by useful questions as well as additional helpful notes for parents and care-givers which can be found online. Colour picturebook with short text.
