Brigette Barrager is an award-winning artist, character designer, illustrator and writer of children’s books, best known for illustrating the bestselling Uni the Unicorn by Amy Krouse Rosenthal. Isaac Fitzgerald has been a firefighter, worked on a boat, and was once given a sword by a king, thereby accomplishing three out of five of his childhood goals. After making a bunch of cool things for the internet he now writes books. How to Be a Pirate (Bloomsbury Children’s Books) follows CeCe and her dreams of being a pirate. When the neighborhood boys tell her that she can’t, she wonders where to begin. She suspects her grandpa must know something about being a pirate–why else would he have all those tattoos? As he shares the stories of the tattoos, Grandpa and CeCe are transported from adventure to adventure, and CeCe discovers that there are all kinds of ways to be a pirate and most of all, whether you’re a pirate or not, the most important thing you can do is to believe in yourself. Jon Scieszka, National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature, praised it as “A beautiful, generous, fun collaboration of story and illustration and pirate tattoos. Seriously wise pirate advice for everyone.”
