When five pirates move in next door, life on the farm is bound to get interesting. But will the unadventurous Sanders family be able to handle the pirates’ bad manners, ghastly grub, and outrageous antics? Or will they learn the importance of loving one’s neighbor and help the pirates find their “land legs”?
Pirates on the Farm, with it’s comical cast of buccaneers—Captain Greybeard, Ratty, Digger, Stretch, and Pooch—was my first picture book. It is “near and dear” to my heart. Based on Matthew 22:39, its message is to love your neighbors…even if they are pirates.
