Born in Santiago, Chile, Luis Sepúlveda is the multi-award-winning author of many adult novels and stories for children. Politically and socially engaged, he was persecuted and jailed by the Pinochet regime and worked for years as a crew member on a Greenpeace ship. The Story of a Seagull and The Cat Who Taught Her to Fly has been translated in over 40 countries with several film and theatre adaptations.
Luis Sepulveda's fable-like story is an international bestseller,
and this translation, with illustrations from Japanese artist
Satoshi Kitamura, makes an appealing little package.
*BookTrust*
It’s beautifully written, expertly translated and Satoshi
Kitamura’s illustrations perfectly catch the comedy, melancholy and
the joy.
*Books for Keeps*
Kitamura’s poetic, humorous and witty illustrations are the perfect
match for Sepúlveda’s fable. I love the fact it's set in my home
town.
*Axel Scheffler*
The message is overwhelmingly positive; the writing is superbly
descriptive and atmospheric and the story has a powerful
environmental message - it's a story to ponder over and perfect for
classroom discussion.
