The Pirate Tree
From the Series Lantana Global Picture Books
Two young pirates come together to look for diamonds and gold, but ultimately find something far more precious: friendship.
The gnarled tree on the hill sometimes turns into a pirate ship. A rope serves as an anchor, a sheet as a sail, and Sam is its fearless captain. But one day another sailor approaches, and he’s not from Sam’s street. Can they bridge their differences to become friends?
“A delightfully entertaining read and unreservedly recommended”—Midwest Book Review
“A superb and stylish exploration of what it feels like to be a kid dreaming up your own adventures, made even better when an unexpected friendship develops”—Read It Daddy
“A meaningful tale of how shared imagination can bridge divides and help bring people together in friendship”—The Letterpress Project
