Award-Winning Author Linda Altoonian Releases Heartwarming

Arlington, Texas - November 6, 2025 - Renowned educator, editor, and award-winning author Linda Altoonian is inspiring young readers with her latest book, Gossip Goose Mends Fences - a tender, beautifully written story about friendship, faithfulness, forgiveness, and the steps to restore a broken relationship.

In Gossip Goose Mends Fences , children meet Little Goose and Yellow Chicken, two friends who learn a powerful lesson about trust and honesty. When a shared secret spreads like wildfire, Little Goose discovers just how destructive gossiping can be - and how hard healing a broken friendship is.

Altoonian demonstrates how gossip is a form of bullying - one of the most destructive experiences in a child's life - and highlights the importance of teaching compassion, empathy and humility early to help prevent it. Then she teaches what is necessary to mend any relationship. This book needs to be in every library.

"I wanted to create a story that helps children recognize the importance of thoughtfulness for others and trustworthiness," Altoonian says. "It's never too early to teach young hearts the value of empathy, grace and forgiveness."

As a lifelong educator, Altoonian witnessed the horrible impact of bullying firsthand in schools. That inspired her to write Gossip Goose Mends Fences so families might have meaningful conversations about bullying and accountability. In support of this mission, she is donating one half of the book's net profits to the Texas Antibullying Coalition.

With charming language, adorable illustrations, and important moral lessons, Gossip Goose Mends Fences is a delightful read-aloud book for homes, classrooms, and Sunday schools. The story reinforces timeless values - integrity, compassion, and reconciliation - in a way that resonates with both children and adults.
