Ebony and ivory, salt and pepper, ying and yang, and now author Olivier Dunrea has two little goslings Jasper and Joop. Jasper is tidy and white, while Joop is messy and gray. Jasper doesn’t like ‘the wet’, mud, or dusty straw, while Joop does. BUT they join together after the buzzz of bees help them find ‘common ground’ including hiding in mud and jumping into the pond.
