About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling like the odd one out or is nervous about entering a space where everyone else seems to know the rules but them. It is a perfect choice for kids who feel a bit too ordinary in a world that values being loud, flashy, or different. The story follows Matilda, a normal girl on vacation at a pirate resort where she is the only non-pirate. As Matilda navigates the hilarious and slightly intimidating world of Scurvy Sands, she learns that being yourself is more important than fitting a specific mold. The book uses humor and vibrant illustrations to tackle themes of belonging, self-confidence, and loyalty. It is ideal for children ages 4 to 8 who enjoy high energy adventures but might need a gentle reminder that their unique perspective is a valuable asset to any crew.
