This book was written for all children who are nervous about starting anywhere afresh, not knowing how to make new friends, and how to strive for acceptance. This is also about being proud of who you are, acknowledging your uniqueness and strength, and always being a little whimsical in the process

To the readers, children, and adults sharing the journey with Polly and Preeti, I welcome you to the world of a funny grade three classroom, nervous characters, friendship, surprises, and a rather goofy pirate wannabe.
Aaarrgghh Mateys! Please embark on this lovely little journey to the world of acceptance, friendship, new beginnings, bravery, and a dash of silliness.
My time as a Vice Principal, teacher, and mentor allowed me to see all sorts of wonderful characters in children—how their innocence is matched by their incredible ability to naturally problem solve and adapt.
With adult guidance and support, they are capable of so much. The future is in their hands.
My main goal is, and always will be, to promote the joy of a good story. Just fall in love with the story and make sincere connections with it. It invites the community. Who doesn’t like to be read to? Whether it be an educator in his or her rocking chair surrounded by a circle of eager children, or parents, grandparents, or guardians having a snuggle up and read time. Preferably with a warm cup of cocoa and a cookie. A bedtime story, as part of the nighttime routine, sending us sleepily adrift to the land of dreams.
And if an inspiration is discovered within these pages, then my time sharing this story is well spent!
This caught my eye and I’m so glad I bought it. I can’t wait to share it with my kids. Well written and adorable 🥰
This is such a well written book. This book is such a great book for young readers, as it has a great message for young children.
I’m so proud of my friend & former Vice-Principal Maria Daniel Parris on her first picture book, A Pirate Goes to School. The story is about a young girl named Polly who sounds different than her classmates. In fact, one of her classmates thinks she sounds a lot like a pirate. Instead of shrinking back in embarrassment, Polly reframes the teasing & becomes a pirate! She quickly becomes a hit at school and her classmates organize a Halloween surprise she’ll never forget.
This is a great beginning of the school year book for teachers to share & it’s also a perfect Halloween-ish read-aloud with a poignant message of friendship, acceptance & celebrating differences.
Wishing you all the best @parrismariadaniel! You’re an author my friend!! Insert excited screaming here
