We have a beautifully illustrated copy of it in YA here at Central:
It looks like a "picture book" for younger readers, but it is, rather, a very literate and beautifully told story about a reclusive artist, the birds that he watches over, a young girl who seeks him out despite his reputation, and, of course, the titular snow goose. It isn't a happy story; if you want a good 2 or 3 hankie read, this is it. It's also one that will stay with you for a long time. So give it a try!
