He knocks when he\u2019s hungry, and the people who live there feed him scraps (from sustainable fish, of course!). Smeagull rules the roost, and keeping up with his schedule is an exhausting job but when Smeagull disappears, it makes clear what an important family member Smeagull the Seagull has become.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong> Smeagull the Seagull<\/strong> teaches young children that animals are precious and have needs and feelings and family, just like us. There are few places on earth without seagulls, both on shore and inland, and every child will find Smeagull captivating and yet familiar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The book is illustrated in full color by the graphic designer, Valerie Elaine Pettis, with rhyming text by Public Radio\u2019s Mark Seth Lender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smeagull is a wild herring gull and this is indeed a true story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smeagulltheseagull.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"BUY  THE BOOK!
