Avital hops aboard her uncle's pirate ship for fun and adventure (and to avoid cleaning her room) in a story just right for Rosh Hashanah.
Avital's adventures are full of fun until Uncle Captain Brownbeard and his crew start doing what pirates do: stealing and fighting and making a mess. Full of moxie and determination, Avital decides to teach these pirates some manners, and some better uses for their skills, and makes many new friends in the process. But when she develops a case of homesickness, the crew makes sure she gets back safely.
Set near Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year, this sweet, comedic adventure story for kids ages 4-6 shows characters learning how to behave in ways that help others instead of hurting them--and having more fun as well.
