• Special education teacher Eileen Clancy-Pantano of Hull has published a new children’s book that families will love to read together. “Where Do Seagulls go at Night?” which follows the success of her heartwarming second book, “Crabby Cakes,” was released last month,.

In her latest book, Clancy-Pantano once again captivates young readers with a delightful tale that explores the importance of curiosity, adventure, and the bonds that connect us. Do seagulls gather on the sand, huddling together to safeguard their feathers through the night? Or do they gracefully sleep on the water’s surface, wading around and maintaining a peaceful silence? Clancy-Pantano weaves a charming narrative that not only satisfies a child’s curiosity about the nocturnal habits of seagulls, but also imparts a valuable lesson about the wonders of the natural world.

“I believe that fostering a sense of wonder and curiosity in children is crucial for their personal and emotional development,” the author said. “Through this book, I hope to inspire young minds to embrace the beauty of nature and the joy of discovery.”

“Where Do Seagulls go at Night” is available wherever books are sold.
