Luna and the Seagull Jim Mackin

Luna was about ten months old when her mother and father took her to Florida to visit with her Aunt Jessie at Christmastime. During the visit, Luna was sitting on the beach when she saw a seagull flying overhead. The seagull spoke to her in a language she could understand. He promised he would teach her to fly when she got a little older. The seagull followed Luna back to her home in Pennsylvania. After she fell asleep one night, he did teach her to fly, as he promised. Every night afterward, and sometimes during the day, the seagull led Luna to different exciting places. They flew to and through the mountains, into the ocean, and through the forests of South America. On all these adventures, Luna met many new friends who sang songs to her that she really liked. Eventually, Luna became too big to fly, and the seagull had to return to Florida. Luna was sad that the seagull had to leave, but she was glad that she made new friends with the names Jack and Jill.
