AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'On the heels of the popular My Nanna is a Ninja comes the second picture book from a talented author and illustrator duo this time celebrating our much-loved grandfathers.

'Some pops scream ‘Huzzah!’ when they dive in dazzling pools.

'But my pop is a pirate … he yells ‘Aaarrrgghhh!’ and buries jewels.

'All pops are different. But what if your pop was really different? What if your pop was a … pirate?

'A rollicking and comical picture book celebrating pops and grandfathers everywhere and the joy and fun they bring to our lives. A must for every family and library.' (Publication summary)
