Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A charming new story from the author of Guess How Much I Love You offers an original--and heartening--take on childhood anxiety.
Once there was a girl called Mindi who was afraid of something that no one else could see. This thing that she was afraid of, this thing that no one else could see, was a big goose. It came into her room as quietly as a thought comes into your head. . . .
When a little girl named Mindi says she is being visited by a big goose--a scary creature that is visible only to her--her devoted dad and mom try everything they can think of to drive it away. But maybe some outside assistance is warranted from their wise friend Austen, a farmer who knows what is needed to help Mindi turn her mind to something new. In a sensitive exploration of childhood fears, Sam McBratney, the author of Guess How Much I Love You , narrates with charm, wit, and a touch of whimsy, while Linda Ólafsdóttir's delicate illustrations enhance the modern fairy-tale feel in a story that is sure to become a bedtime favorite.

The little girl and her devoted father try everything they can think of to drive away the big goose.
