How to Be a Pirate

How to Be a Pirate follows young CeCe, who dreams of becoming a pirate but is told by the neighborhood boys that she can't be one — until she notices her grandfather's mysterious collection of tattoos and suspects he knows something. As Grandpa shares the story behind each tattoo, CeCe and he embark on wild adventures together — sailing, swinging through jungles, and outwitting every challenge — and CeCe discovers that being a pirate means being brave, quick, independent, and fun.

This is a wonderful choice for students because its message of self-belief and girl power, combined with Isaac Fitzgerald's energetic text and Brigette Barrager's vibrant illustrations, makes it a joyful celebration of confidence, imagination, and the special bond between a grandchild and a grandparent.
