Get Your Feet Wet!
A Different Kind of Courage
Most young pirates dream of the sea—of wearing an eye patch and giving out a hearty Arrrgh! and brandishing a sword! But not Petie. Family, friends, and his teachers at pirate school all expect him to be a swashbuckling pirate…but Petie’s heart is telling him something else.
In The Irate Pirate, Petie learns, and reminds us all, how to be true to ourselves, and how to be honest with our loved ones. A light-hearted, heartfelt, fun story for the family, and for the ages.
