Chester, I Love You by Blaine M. Yorgason and Brenton G. Yorgason is a heartwarming family novel about a thirteen-year-old boy named Travis Tilby who is challenged to care for and train a playful, one-legged Canadian goose named Chester rather than see it become Thanksgiving dinner. Set against a backdrop of family life and small-town dynamics, the story uses the boy’s efforts to teach the goose to fly as a vehicle for exploring themes of perseverance, compassion, personal growth, and the value of keeping one’s word. The novel blends humor and emotion with relatable characters and situations, and its message about love, responsibility, and self-confidence has resonated with many readers; it was also adapted into the 1986 television film The Thanksgiving Promise.
