MEET THE PiRATS
The PiRATS is a fully illustrated children's book about a gang of fearless PiRATS who set off on a quest for treasure and adventure. As they sail through the local canal they almost lose their way, battle enormous giants, and then encounter an unexpectedly stinky surprise!
The book was written and drawn by a father with the help of his 7 & 3 year old sons. It's a wonderfully silly story which is sure to be a favourite with every little buccaneer!
MEET THE AUTHORS
Here are the guys who created The PiRATS
Mat Owen
Mat wrote the story for The PiRATS and drew all of the illustrations for the book - with a little help from his boys. He was inspired to create the book by a spelling mistake that his eldest son Lukas made on his birthday wishlist. Of course, Lukas was wishing for some toy pirates, which he got, but he also found himself helping Dad to make a fun book for all kids.
Lukas Owen
Lukas was 7 when he helped with the book. He drew some of the additional details in the illustrations, such as the skull on the Captain's hat and the crew's belts. Once you have the book, see if you can spot anything else you think Lukas may have drawn.
Malik Owen
Malik was 3 when he helped with the book. As his big brother was making drawings, he wanted to join the crew too. He scribbled some of the textures that are used within the illustrations. Such as the grass, sea and the shadows under the PiRATS.
