A cat. A seagull. An impossible task.A worldwide bestseller and the subject of a feature film, THE STORY OF A SEAGULL… is finally out in paperback!

Her wings burdened by an oil slick, a seagull struggles to the nearest port to lay her final egg. Exhausted, she lands on a balcony where Zorba the cat is sunning himself. She extracts three extraordinary promises from him: that he will watch over the egg, that he will not EAT the egg, and that, when it’s time, he will teach the baby gull to fly. The first two promises are hard enough, but the third one is surely impossible. Isn’t it?

i like it, this is a good book, not too long but very ok. And it’s not too confusing, it can help with reading practice. I love it and it’s not a waste of your money.

Author: Luis Sepulveda Illustrator: Satoshi Kitamura Translator: Margaret Sayers Peden

Publisher: Alma Books

Zorba the port cat is given a task of the utmost importance when he meets an oil-soaked gull, fighting for her life. She passes over her last egg, making him promise to keep the baby safe and then teach it to fly. Zorba doesn’t know how a cat can teach a bird to fly, but with the help of some port cat friends, an encyclopaedia and a poet, Zorba fulfils his promise.

The baby gull, named Lucky, is saved by the surprising love of this loyal cat – and all the animals learn to appreciate and respect those who are different from themselves.

The Story of a Seagull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly is a unique children’s books by Luis Sepulveda. Since I love this great Chilean author, I’m reading whatever he wrote, of course, this children’s book was no exception. However, when I read it, I understood that this is more than just a children’s book. I think those who want to remember certain things should seriously read it.

Sepulveda covers different themes throughout the book. Since he was a thành viên and activist of Greenpeace, he talks about environmental issues while also addressing the issue of “difference”. It conveys to the children how people pollute the environment, especially the sea, through the eyes of seagulls and cats. Especially when one of the seagulls dips in oil and dies, I lost it and cursed the sea pollution for about an hour. I do not know what could be better than such impressive books to evoke the love of the environment in children.

The most important message of the book is diversity/difference. Cats learn to love and respect what is different from them throughout the book. While it is effortless to understand and love things similar to us, it can be not easy to accept those who are different from us in the same way. This book is one of the most significant children’s books that can break this challenge. Lucky, the baby seagull has to rely on cats to learn to fly, while cats have to rely on a person to teach Lucky to fly. This book, with its funny elements and sweet characters, has a heart and soul. Everyone should read this book every single year. Enjoy!

A Cat, A Seagull, An Impossible Task…Caught up in an oil spill, a dying seagull scrambles ashore to lay her final egg and lands on a balcony, where she meets Zorba, a big black cat from the port of Hamburg. The cat promises the seagull to look after the egg, not to eat the chick once it’s hatched and – most difficult of all – to teach the baby gull to fly. Will Zorba and his feline friends honour the promise and give Lucky, the adopted little seagull, the strength to discover her true nature?

A moving, uplifting and life-enhancing story with a strong environmental theme, Luis Sepulveda’s instant children’s classic has been a worldwide best-seller and is presented here with new drawings by acclaimed illustrator Satoshi Kitamura.

Read Around the World

Now I originally read Luis Sepúlveda’s 1996 The Story of a Seagull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly (titled Historia de una gaviota y el gato que le enseñó a volar in its original Spanish, translated by Margaret Sayers Peden, with Chris Sheban providing the accompanying illustrations) in August 2010 for a Children’s Literature Group read.

Now I originally read Luis Sepúlveda’s 1996 The Story of a Seagull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly (titled Historia de una gaviota y el gato que le enseñó a volar in its original Spanish, translated by Margaret Sayers Peden, with Chris Sheban providing the accompanying illustrations) in August 2010 for a Children’s Literature Group read. And yes indeed, considering that the summer of 2010 was also the time of the BP Gulf of Mexico oil spill tragedy and fiasco, perusing The Story of a Seagull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly then was both a timely and also a very important admonishment to not only children but really to everyone both young and old that we do need to absolutely guard against oil spills and oil slicks in the ocean and other bodies of water and the environmental havoc and terror these tend to wreak and cause, and especially for sea and shorebirds (with for example, the beginning of The Story of a Seagull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly, Chris Sheban’s absolutely terrifying pictorial image of Kenach the seagull being totally and utterly overwhelmed and inundated in the North Sea by a massive flood of black and oily ooze being both aesthetically frightening and yes, even if perhaps a bit overly empathetic and moralistic in scope, also in all ways necessary and meaningful).

However, in retrospect, I personally really do also wish that The Story of a Seagull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly were a bit more realistic and less fantastical with regard to in particular cats and birds as animal species. For while the account of Zorba the Hamburg feline promising a dying (and oil drenched) Kenach that he would both take care of her egg and then also teach her young offspring to fly (once the time is right for this) has been sweet, encouraging and engaging enough in and of itself, frankly, considering that in reality, that in the real world, cats usually hunt and eat birds, that they see birds as potential prey, I really do have to wonder a trifle whether post Lucky the seagull having been taken care of, succoured and taught how to fly by Zorba, if she would still posses the natural instincts to view and approach cats in general as dangerous, as probable enemies and not as potential allies and companions. In other words, while I have found Zorba and Lucky’s relationship tender and encouraging, I guess I also was kind of looking for Zorba teaching his charge, making Lucky aware of the fact and truth that while he and many of the Hamburg port cats certainly have been friends and companions to her, that once she is on her own flying and living as a typical seagull, cats should not automatically be considered friendly just because he and the port cats of Hamburg have been friendly, that cats usually do hunt, kill and eat birds and that Lucky should therefore generally be frightened or the very least wary of cats as a species (something that I do not think every really seems to occur to any major extent in The Story of a Seagull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly, and something that I for one definitely have found rather problematic best, a totally missed opportunity so to speak, and certainly too fantastical and fairy tale like for me).

And therefore, while in August of 2010, I had originally considered four star ranking for The Story of a Seagull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly, in 2022, I am indeed now only willing and able to consider but a rather low three star ranking best (for a tale with important environmental, ecological messages, even if perhaps a bit overtly didactic times, and a cute and sweet depiction of an unusual avian/feline friendship that while readable and yes in many ways just lovely, also and nevertheless is truly just a wee trifle too unrealistic, too unbelievable and too one-sidedly rose-coloured glasses positive for my personal tastes).
