Captain Pearl Fairweather is a brave, fair and strong pirate captain. She and her diverse crew of twenty-four women sail the seven seas on the good ship, Harmony, looking only for adventure. All is well, until the day Captain Sandy McCross sails into their lives and demands to take over Pearl's ship! This beautifully illustrated children's picture book explores crucial issues such as gender equality, respect, respectful relationships, empowerment, diversity, leadership, bullying behaviors, self-esteem, the prevention of violence, and conflict resolution. The aim of this book is to empower young girls to be strong, assertive, self-confident and self-reliant, and for boys to respect that empowerment, and to embrace and value it. Boys can learn that their lives can be so much richer if they partner with girls on an even footing with each sex contributing their talents unreservedly. Captain Pearl Fairweather acts as a strong role model, encouraging young girls to make their own choices and to follow their dreams. Just like Pearl, young girls can be leaders and work confidently with their male peers to achieve so much in this world. This book includes comprehensive and supportive Discussion Questions.

Industry Reviews

Who doesn't love a pirate - and stories of adventure on the high seas? The best thing about this colourful and exciting story is that it will appeal to all children, and they will enjoy it immensely without any idea that they are learning about gender equality, respect and empowerment. I loved it, and I've already bought a copy for a special little girl in my life. Amazon Customer on Amazon

Terrific book for youth about empowerment, acceptance and teamwork. Jayneen Sanders writes another engaging story with bright illustration that draws kids in to this adventure on the high seas that demonstrates the real meaning of leadership, equality and self esteem. Ginger G. Kadlec on Amazon

Great book for boys and girls. The main character stands up for what is right and she does it in a positive way. I highly recommend this book! No, seriously if you're thinking about buying this book, stop thinking about it and buy it now! Amazon Customer on Amazon
