Mother Goose Day is observed on May 01, 2025. Mother Goose Day was founded in 1987 by Gloria T. Delamar in tandem with the publication of her book, "Mother Goose; From Nursery to Literature". It is a day to appreciate nursery rhymes and stories. The familiar figure of Mother Goose is an imaginary author of a collection of fairy tales and nursery rhymes which are often published as Mother Goose Rhymes. As a character, she appears in one "nursery rhyme". Mother Goose is generally depicted in literature and book illustration as an elderly country woman in a tall hat and shawl, a costume identical to the peasant costume worn in Wales in the early 20th century, but is sometimes depicted as a goose, usually wearing a bonnet.
