"Ode to Goose" 24" x 32"

This enchanting piece, lovingly created by young children, captures the innocence and imagination of early childhood. With bold lines and bright colors, the drawing depicts a graceful goose resting near the water with its goslings, framed by a willow tree that stretches outward in vibrant green. Simple yet profound, the artwork radiates a sense of peace, family, and belonging.

What makes this piece extraordinary is not only its artistic charm but also the heartfelt story behind it. It was made by children enrolled in Head Start, a program that provides critical early education, care, and support to families with limited resources in San Francisco. Each playful brushstroke reflects the creativity, curiosity, and resilience of children who, with the right nurturing, can flourish despite life’s challenges.

By acquiring this artwork, you are not only taking home a one-of-a-kind treasure but also directly supporting the mission of San Francisco Head Start: to give every child—regardless of circumstance—a strong foundation for lifelong learning and success. This drawing is more than an image; it is a symbol of hope, potential, and the bright futures we can help create together.
