Un álbum sutil y delicado que cuenta la relación entre un padre y una hija. –¿Qué cosas te gustan? –le pregunta el padre a su hija una tarde de otoño mientras pasean por el parque. La pequeña responde que le gustan los perros, los gatos y las tortugas. También los gansos. –¿Los gansos en el agua o en el cielo? –La niña contesta que ambos. Se inicia así el diálogo que entablan padre e hija durante el paseo. En una conversación sencilla y casual, que tiene que ver con las preferencias de la pequeña y las sutiles precisiones que introduce. Los dos personajes recorren el parque, juegan con las hojas, pasan junto a una feria sin dejar de platicar. Todo esto sucede en un ambiente de placidez y afecto compartido. La atmósfera de ternura y comprensión presente en estas páginas nos permite entender un sentimiento difícil de definir: el amor filial.
