Review "When Avitals great uncle, the Pirate Brownbeard, visits shortly before Rosh Hashanah, she joins him for an adventure. At first she has fun sharing culture with the pirates. She blows the shofar for them and they teach her some pirate songs. The author Pamela Moritz mentions kid-friendly titles of a couple of pirate standards that are sure to make older readers laugh. But when she finds out that the pirates plan to steal treasure from other people, Avital lectures her uncle that stealing is wrong. And when they run across a ship with an elderly crew, she stresses that it is a mitzvah to respect old people. She teaches the crew ways to enjoy themselves without hurting people. The cute colorful illustrations by Damien Jones show a ship full of smiling pirates having fun. The bright, bold artwork uses a vivid palette that adds to the cheery mood. Avital even teaches the crew to clean up after themselves!The story takes place right before Rosh Hashanah. With important lessons on how to live righteously, as well as some Jewish elements like shofar blowing, mitzvahs, and cooking matzah ball soup, this cute story is ideal for Jewish youngsters and can be enjoyed at any time of year.Although primarily aimed at Jewish children, the afterward makes this book approachable to any child. The author begins with an inclusive premise by saying that we all act like pirates some of the time and could improve our behavior. This is followed by a section with some Jewish terms and includes a paragraph about Rosh Hashanah. It points out that the Jewish New Year is a time when we think about our behavior during the past year and how we might improve in the year to come. If pirates can change their ways, then anyone can improve their behavior.I recommend this story for Jewish children at Rosh Hashanah or year round, and to any pirate loving youngster." —Julie Ditton, Sydney Taylor Shmooze Details ISBN1681156288 Author Damien Jones Format Hardcover AU Release Date 2025-01-01 Pages 32 Publisher Behrman House Inc.,U.S. Illustrator Damien Jones ISBN-13 9781681156286 Imprint Behrman House Inc.,U.S. Place of Publication West Orange, NJ Country of Publication United States Audience Children / Juvenile Year 2024 Publication Date 2024-10-03 US Release Date 2024-10-03 Audience Age 4 ISBN-10 1681156288 UK Release Date 2024-10-03 Illustrations Illustrations We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
