Why We Made This Book.

Smeagull the Seagull, A True Story teaches children that animals are precious and have needs and feelings and family, just like us.

It is a good and moral story that will help jump-start the next generation of conservationists. The planet needs them.

Smeagull needs them too!

Smeagull the Seagull comes to the house near the shore every day and knocks on the sliding glass door. He knocks when he’s hungry, and the people who live there feed him. Smeagull rules the roost! Keeping him fed is an exhausting job, but when Smeagull disappears, it makes clear what an important family member Smeagull has become.

There are few places on earth without seagulls, both on shore and inland, and every child will find, Smeagull the Seagull captivating and yet familiar. This is a true story. Smeagull is a wild herring gull who does indeed knock at Valerie and Mark’s house every day where he is fed scraps from sustainable seafood.

During a long flight, like when I migrate in the spring and fall, there’s nothing like a really good book to help pass the time. That’s why I always have a copy of Smeagull the Seagull, A True Story tucked under my wing.
