The Pirate Mums
Jodie Lancet-Grant, Lydia Corry
Set sail on an swashbuckling pirate adventure with Billy and his brave, strong, and unique mums!
Billy’s family is not what you’d call ordinary. His mums won’t listen to NORMAL music. They love to sing sea shanties and dance jigs in the lounge. Their clothes are highly unusual, they have a rude parrot for a pet, and their taste in house design is, well . . . FISHY. Billy wishes his family could be more like everyone else’s, until an ocean adventure changes everything!
Written by Jodie Lancet-Grant and illustrated by Lydia Corry, Pirate Mums is a celebration of inclusive families, perfect for sharing with young children who love adventure.
Little fans of adventure will also love The Marvellous Doctors for Magical Creatures.

I didn't like the storm and I don't understand how the captain got stuck in the toilet.

I like it when my mum reads this story in a pirate voice. This story has very good pictures.

Billy’s mums know all about boats so they had a chance to save the children’s.

Only because it has a parrot I mostly don’t like pirate fairy tales
Senor Hank Piano-key 06.07.2024
I thought this book was good because the mums were different to other people and the book showed that it’s good to be different!

Billy has 2 mums, it is a bit weird, but it is okay because they loved Billy.

The mums were like magic & could do anything! They didn’t dress like normal mums - I wish I could dress like them for school sometimes.
