For as long as he can remember, the young goose Jasmine Scent has listened to stories about the Enchanted Mountain, a mysterious place where old geese go when it is time to leave behind the burdens of life. When his father announces that his own journey to the mountain is approaching, Jasmine Scent must confront emotions he is not ready to face and learn to understand the natural cycle of life.
Part of the Fables by Rubem Alves collection, this moving story addresses life, aging, and death with rare sensitivity. Rather than presenting loss as an ending, Rubem Alves portrays it as a transformation, offering young readers a poetic framework for understanding change, remembrance, and renewal.
Veridiana Scarpelli’s illustrations capture both the beauty of the natural landscape and the emotional depth of the narrative, creating a visually rich reading experience that supports the book’s delicate and hopeful approach to one of childhood’s most challenging subjects
