Seagull - Name - Outsider - Identity - Adventure - Homecoming
The moon, the wind, the rain drops, a monkey, and a raven become
friends with the strong-willed seagull Pippifilippi during her journey around
the world which she is taking because she doesn’t want to be named just
Emma, like all the other seagulls. She insists on having her own name and
leading her own life. The result is that ever since then each seagull picks out
a second, secret name that fits no one else. This is a book which
encourages inde-pendence within the social group. (5+)
