Story of a Seagull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly
Story of a Seagull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly | Luis Sepulveda
7 posts | 19 read | 5 to read
Published in 20 countries, sold over 1 million copies, and the subject of a feature film, THE STORY OF A SEAGULL AND THE CAT WHO TAUGHT HER TO FLY has finally come to the U.S.! It's migration time and as a mother gull dives into the water to catch a herring she's caught in an oil slick! Thinking of the egg she is about to lay she manages to extract herself and fly to the nearest port. Exhausted, she lands on a balcony where Zorba the cat is sunning himself. Zorba wants to get help, but the gull knows it's too late and she extracts three promises from him: 1) That he won't eat the egg, 2) that he'll take care of the chick until it hatches, and 3) that he'll teach it to fly. Well the first two are hard enough, but the third one is surely impossible. Isn't it?

Historia muy linda, e inocente, pero que contiene una crítica con respecto a la falta de cuidado que tenemos con la naturaleza. Simplemente hay muchos momentos memorables, pero el final me hace querer llorar de lo lindo que es!
Zorbas para mejor gato!!

This was lovely. I teared up a bit at the end. And the illustrations are great. If it's a bit unsubtle in its moral message (environmentalism, embracing diversity), well, it's for kids. And it's a good message. (My 7y/o will get too distressed and angry at humans if he reads this, so I will add a sort of TW for sensitive kids: Death of mummy seagull by oil spill.)

I can't find my copy of this book... besides, it was actually my sister's. She's a fan of Sepulveda, read all his novels. When she recommanded me this one, she told me, "But be aware you're going to cry"
Boy, and how did l!
It's a beautiful story full of hope, actyally, but so moving.
