Pirates on the Farm

“No one ever imagined that five swashbuckling pirates would settle in our proper little southern community. But they did.”

When pirates move in next door, life on the farm is bound to get interesting. But will the unadventurous Sanders family be able to handle the pirates’ bad manners, ghastly grub, and outrageous antics? Or will they learn the importance of loving one’s neighbor and help the graceless pirates find their “land legs”?

This story was heartwarming and I was able to share it with my Sunday School class. The students learned that it's okay to be different and that different is not always bad. I liked the illustrations and the students loved the story.

I recommend this book to any child who struggles to understand change and differences in other people.
