Kathleen Warner: White Smoke, Two Gulls, and a Pope, Gebunden

Klappentext

A little bit of Rome, a puff of white smoke, and a flutter of feathers--White Smoke, Two Gulls, and a Pope beautifully captures the joy and wonder of a world-changing moment through the eyes of two seagulls and the hearts of children everywhere.

When white smoke curls above the Sistine Chapel, signaling the election of a new pope, Mama Seagull and her curious chick watch from their perch high above St. Peter's Square. Down below, pilgrims cheer, sisters pray, and the cardinals' choice is revealed: the first American pope, Leo XIV!

Told in gentle rhyme and brought to life with radiant illustrations, this story invites young readers to experience the excitement and unity of the Catholic Church at one of its most special moments. Along the way, children learn about the papacy, God's guiding hand through history, and the joy of belonging to one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.

A delight for families, classrooms, and parish libraries, White Smoke, Two Gulls, and a Pope celebrates faith, hope, and the beauty of our universal Church--through the eyes of a bird and the faith of a child.
