30-day easy returns. We cover return shipping.
Meet Maggie, a young seagull with a secret longing: to be a graceful dove, the bird chosen to represent the Holy Spirit. No matter how hard she tries to change herself, things go wrong, and her friends' teasing only deepens her doubt. But when Maggie flies to a rooftop to nurse her wounded pride, she finds herself perched beside a chapel chimney at the most extraordinary moment: white smoke rises, a new pope greets the world, and Pope Leo XIV delivers a message meant just for her, and for every child who has ever wondered if they are truly loved by God.
