Was wondering if someone could help.\u00a0\u00a0My recollections may be off on some details.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n The book was likely published before 1985, and it was a children\u2019s pictorial book.\u00a0 The book told the story of an elderly woman who took care of a debilitated large bird (perhaps a goose or similar).\u00a0 Each winter the woman makes the decision to not travel to warmer climes (to join a relative), and chooses to stay in the cold snow country to take care of the bird.\u00a0 A portion of the story is around how she teaches the bird to come to her at mealtimes.\u00a0 At some point, the bird becomes blind after being mauled by wolves, and the woman teaches the bird to fly to her (for feedings) by the smell of the food and the scent of a\u00a0nearby tree (she fed the bird by the side of a lake or pond).\u00a0 Eventually, the woman dies, and the bird flies to her grave and lies down on the grave (presumably to die as well).\u00a0 The story ends with the bird and grave being covered by the snowfall. <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Any possible leads would be very appreciated.\u00a0 This book has stayed\u00a0on my mind for over two decades.\u00a0\u00a0Many thanks.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0 Was wondering if someone could help.\u00a0\u00a0My recollections may be off on some details.\u00a0 The book was likely published before 1985, and it was a children\u2019s pictorial book.\u00a0 The book told the story of an elderly woman who took care of a debilitated large bird (perhaps a goose or similar).\u00a0 Each winter the woman makes […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3,17,19],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/stumpthebookseller\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1044"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/stumpthebookseller\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/stumpthebookseller\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/stumpthebookseller\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/stumpthebookseller\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1044"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/stumpthebookseller\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1044\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1045,"href":"http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/stumpthebookseller\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1044\/revisions\/1045"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/stumpthebookseller\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1044"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/stumpthebookseller\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1044"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/w1.loganberrybooks.com\/stumpthebookseller\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1044"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
