When summer arrives at the pond, everyone seems busy preparing for something special. Squirrels hang ribbons, rabbits gather berries, horses decorate the parade wagon, ducks float tiny flags around the water, and Chickadee practices cheerful songs.
But Silly Goose has no idea what all the excitement is about.
When Rabbit explains that America is turning two hundred and fifty years old, Silly Goose comes to a surprising conclusion. Surely there must be a very old "Miss America" somewhere-and she must be having a birthday!
Determined not to miss the celebration, Silly Goose sets out to find her.
Along the way, he helps his friends with their preparations. He hangs ribbons with Squirrel, gathers berries with Rabbit, decorates the parade wagon with Horse, helps Cow bring treats for the picnic, and arranges flowers beside the pond with Duck. Yet no matter how many friends he asks, no one seems to know where Miss America can be found.
As the day draws to a close, Wise Owl gently helps Silly Goose discover something far more wonderful than he ever imagined.
America isn't one person.
It is families.
It is friends.
It is neighbors.
It is communities.
It is people caring for one another, sharing grateful hearts, and celebrating together.
