The Seagull on the Chapel

A Story of Value and Worth
BY SHANNON K. EVANS (AUTHOR), ERIC A. CLAYTON (AUTHOR), ANGELA EDMONDS

Maggie, a young seagull, longs to be a graceful dove – believing that only doves are worthy of representing the Holy Spirit. But every time she tries to change herself, it goes poorly. Maggie flies to a rooftop to nurse her pride and have a good cry, only to find herself right in the middle of God’s great plan! With a nod to Pope Leo XIV, the Authors’ Note provides a kid-friendly description of the papal conclave as well as a brief history and explanation.
