Purchase options and add-ons

A Seagull Named Papa is a gentle but powerful exploration of those aspects of our experience that invite and sometimes challenge us to develop such necessary human qualities as courage, compassion, tolerance, humility, patience, defiance, contrition and perseverance.


Get ready to laugh, cry and wonder at the deeply healing experiences of a violent ex-convict who is healed by a simple invitation; an eight-year old girl trying to recover from school-yard name-calling; a bullying supervisor stopped in his tracks; an eighty-seven year old woman who never got to say goodbye to her long-lost papa; and married therapists fortuitously visited by a clown.


Exploring such themes as humility, non-violent resistance, holding in sin, tolerance, poverty, redemption, contrition, the challenge of mercy, facing your inner demons and repairing the world, Barry Robinson invites you to listen for that insistent call that is there at the very heart of your life urging you to be who you really are.


This is an inspiring, fascinating and immersive read that will change the way you see yourself and the world.

About the Author

A Seagull Named Papa is a gentle but powerful exploration of those aspects of our experience that invite and sometimes challenge us to develop such qualities as courage, compassion, tolerance, humility, patience, defiance and perseverance. Using compelling illustrations from traditional tales, classic literature, scripture, psychology, film, history and his own personal and professional life, Barry Robinson relies on the ancient wisdom of storytelling in a manner, not unlike the shanachie of his Irish ancestors. You will be invited to laugh, cry and wonder at the profoundly moving experiences of a violent ex-convict who is healed by a simple invitation, an eight-year-old girl with freckles trying to recover from school-yard name-calling, a bullying supervisor stopped in his tracks, an eighty-seven-year-old woman who never got to say goodbye to her long-lost papa, and married therapists fortuitously visited by a clown.
Drawing from many years of experience in caring for others, Barry invites you to explore your own journey toward wholeness and dignity. At the heart of this book is the author's belief that we are "visited" by our "essential self" throughout our lives. The person we were meant to be, who was there in the very beginning, an essence that calls us to be who we really are. "If we take the risk of growing down, we may just find, indeed - I believe that we will ultimately find - that there are forces in the universe, both above us and beneath us that mean us well...beneath the very heart of things...there is a grace that means to make wonders of us in the end."

His second book (2019): Growing Down: Stories Exploring Human Dignity is a collection of stories taken from classic literature, contemporary film, folklore and stories from the author's personal and professional life which reflect on the psychological and spiritual experience of what James Hillman refers to as 'growing down', the art of developing maturity through confronting experiences that challenge us.

From his publisher: "This is an inspiring and immersive read that will change the way you see the world." From an avid reader of his work: ". . a storied journey by a master storyteller and remarkable observer of the human condition. . . it is compelling, profound and it will touch you deeply."
