<strong>Written by Carmen Deedy, Illustrated by Laura Seeley</strong>

“Everything comes from something.  Nothing comes from nothing.”  Storyteller Carmen Deedy spins a riotous tale, starring Agatha, who orders a new feather bed.  Soon six shivering naked geese pay her a visit, demanding their feathers back.  Agatha comes up with a plan and gets to work for several days, and we wonder what she could be up to.   Inspired by the tale “The Gift of the Magi”, Agatha’s act of cleverness and compassion ultimately solves her dilemma.  The story encourages children to study intriguing facts about the origins of things and raises awareness about our connection to the world around us.   Winner of several awards.
