Mackenzie, a young free-spirited girl,
sets out on an adventure to a special
pirate gathering where she encounters
unruly pirates set in their old pirate ways.
Through bravery and can-do-it-ness Mackenzie,
as Black Mack the flip flop loving
pirate, takes on a leadership role to teach
the pirates that embracing differences and
including others is the new code of pirate
kindness. In her colorfully creative debut Dana spotlights
the concepts of anti-bullying and
diversity. She reimagines these tough topics in a simple
way to motivate young readers to stand up
for what they believe and build relationships
to effect change in their communities, and
the world. Read it twice, read it thrice and ask yourself
what are the special treasures that make
your heart sing?
It's a swashbuckling tale for readers of all
ages and pirates too!
