HOW I BECAME A PIRATE

ARRRRGH! Really, who doesn't want to be a pirate? Based on How I Became a Pirate, a best selling children's book by Melinda Long with illustrations by David Shannon. It is the story of young Jeremy Jacob - who, one day while digging in the sand at the beach, is visited by a Pirate band who comes ashore seeking his help in burying their treasure! Jeremy thinks the pirate life is for him until he realizes that the simple things in life, like a kiss and a warm tucking in at night are those that are most important. A musical story of adventure and finding one's own heart - a path that can't be found on a treasure map.
