Reach for this book when your child feels like they do not fit in at school, or when you notice them being influenced by peer gossip regarding a new classmate. This story follows Matilda, a girl in a dull seaside town who befriends a family of pirates that moves in next door. While the adults in the community judge the Jolly-Rogers for their rowdy behavior and 'different' lifestyle, Matilda looks past the stereotypes to find a genuine friend in young Jim Lad. It is a vibrant, humorous exploration of first impressions and the courage it takes to be kind when others are being judgmental. This book is perfect for children ages 4 to 8 who are navigating the social complexities of making new friends and standing up for what is right.
