Jonathan Livingston Seagull - Richard Bach

This book has a moral which says that you don't have to do the same as the others do if you don't want to. Even if it gives shame to your family and you are abandoned by them. You just do what you want and be happy.

That's the principle Jonathon the seagull follows in his life. He doesn't care about anything but his flying and soon is abandoned by his family. Jon kept on going without caring and one day he reached something which seemed like the paradise for all seagulls who want to master the art of flying. It wasn't meant for gulls who keep squawking and going around beating other gulls to get some food.

There, in that place, he perfects his flying and tells his master that he wants to go back to where he came from, Earth, to teach some of the gulls who wished to fly and be like him. He was permitted to go, he started with a small group and it soon started growing. By looking at him many of the other gulls get inspired and ask to be trained. He teaches everyone and some gulls start thinking of him as the son of 'The Great One' something like Jesus or Buddha, however he was just a great seagull.

There are also many beautiful photos taken of Jon. (Here are some which I have chosen from various sources in Google)
