Unlike other cygnets, Louis, the trumpeter swan, cannot utter a sound. But with the encouragement of his father, Louis sets out to overcome his problem. One way of doing this Louis decides, is to learn to read and write and so he sets off to Montana to find his friend Sam Beaver. Louis goes to school with him and learns to read and write, but when he returns to the lakes and falls in love with the beautiful Serena, he is upset that Serena can't read his sign, which says 'I love you'.

Unique, romantic, gorgeous...children's book
You don't need new illustrations to appreciate the magnificence of the scenic images conjured by E.B.White's prose. My favorite book of middle childhood, this book has it all - science, whimsical fancy, unique characters... plus the most rooted-for waterfowl since Make Way For Ducklings. You will appreciate your own unique gifts and ways of overcoming obstacles after experiencing Louis' swan journey.
