The fun celebration Day aims to remind each one of us about the nursery rhymes that we had heard during childhood. Mother Goose Day is created in a way to honor Mother Goose which is an imaginary author of the collection of fairy tales and nursery rhymes. Mother Goose is illustrated as an old countrywoman in a tall hat and shawl often. However, at times, she is also depicted as a goose wearing a bonnet. Mother Goose is credited with the Mother Goose stories and rhymes that were popularized in the 17th century in English-language literature.
