Set sail on a heartwarming adventure into the world of a special pirate who is going to school- where the sailing is not always smooth. In this uplifting story, a young autistic pirate navigates the school day, showing others that being different is nothing to fear. This autistic pirate will make friends and a treasure chest full of unique ways to learn, play, and connect.
While the other children might share, play, or speak in familiar ways, this autistic child might flap, use a special communication tool, or need a little extra help to join in. But no matter how he expresses himself, the pirate is just like everyone else-someone who wants to be seen, understood and included.
Pirates Are People Too offers a gentle, engaging way for children to learn about autism through the eyes of an autistic child who shows us that everyone has their own way of sailing through the seas of life. Whether they need a moment to themselves, a friend to play with, or simply a little patience, this child proves that kindness, empathy, and understanding are true treasures to us all.
This story includes a guide for parents, teachers, and caregivers to spark important conversations about autism, communication devices, stimming, and the support some children might need. It is the perfect resource for teaching children to embrace differences and celebrate the uniqueness of every autistic person in the classroom.
Remember, pirates are people too- no matter how they show up.
