The Pirate Mums by Jodie Lancet-Grant
A hilarious romp of a picture book: perfect for introducing young children to the idea that families come in lots of shapes and sizes in a fun way. Sail the high seas in this tale of an eventful maritime school trip packed with gorgeous artwork by Lydia Corry. A must for little pirate fans!
Billy's family is not what you'd call ordinary. His mums won't listen to "normal" music. They love to sing sea shanties and dance jigs in the lounge. Their clothes are highly unusual, they have a rude parrot for a pet, and their taste in house design is, well... fishy. Billy wishes his family could be more like everyone else's. Until a swashbuckling adventure changes everything!
‘The Pirate Mums is a rollicking, swashbuckling, colourful adventure (with just a touch of toilet humour). It’s a celebration of family life, whatever that family happens to look like and its main characters are mums who are strong, kind, inventive and clever. I hope it helps readers understand that being different makes you special and that all families are worth telling stories about, good ones - stories that are packed with adventure, rainbows and, just sometimes, big beefy captains getting trapped in tiny stinky toilets.’
Jodie Lancet-Grant, author of The Pirate Mums.
