Reach for this book when your child starts noticing the ways your family doesn't fit the typical neighborhood mold or when they feel a prickle of embarrassment about a parent's unique personality. It is the perfect tool for a child who is beginning to navigate the tension between wanting to fit in at school and wanting to be loyal to their quirky home life. Cecil is a boy who just wants a normal mom, but his mother is a full-blown pirate who wears high black boots and insists on a lifestyle of adventure. Through a series of hilarious and increasingly absurd situations, Cecil moves from mortification to a profound realization about the value of individuality. This chapter book is ideal for ages 7 to 10, offering a lighthearted but meaningful exploration of self-confidence and the bonds of family love that transcend social expectations.
