A beautiful sunny Monday so I better keep this short. Final copy of "Bo Meets Captain Lucy Blue and the Bully" has a thumbs up so it is on it's way to my wonderful illustrator, Marina! I have a book fair to prepare for on May 15th at the Lost Villages just outside of Cornwall. Wow! I better start fine tuning book 3, "Bo and The Seven Seas Clean up"
James received his Bachelor of Arts in History at Nipissing University in 1986, studied in the Journalism course at Canadore College for a year and then completed a qualifying year in English at Laurentian University in 1988. He then completed the Education course at Nipissing in 1989. He has taught most of his 30 years in the Primary Division. He has retired and now lives in Iroquois with his wife and his spoiled pug, Pookie.
This is a story about a young boy born into a family of pirates. He enjoys the pirate stories and songs they share but when he goes out on an actual pirate raid he discovers this is not for him. He fails miserably, so his dad insists he attend Pirate Training School. After several misadventures and failures here, he decides if he is to be a pirate, he will be a nice pirate. He shares the treasures he finds, rescues other pirates in peril and generally does kind things. This eventually wins his crew over but further angers his father and his teachers. I believe this will speak to any who have been bullied or forced to conform or to parents that need to let their little ones grow and learn and be themselves. This story also allows for so many further adventures as Bo teaches others about being kind and considerate.
