My Granny is a Pirate

My Granny is a Pirate

My granny is a pirate!
She’s sailed the seven seas.
She captured many pirate ships
But was always home for tea.

When a family secret about Granny is revealed, we discover all about her fiercesome pirate reputation and her swashbuckling ways – from making other rogueish pirates walk the plank to singing sea shanties to her dog, Jolly Roger.

Look again at your granny…could she be a pirate too?

A must-have book for all pirate fans.
