About the Author

Kes Gray is one of the UK's bestselling picture book authors. His Oi books alone have sold 2.5 million copies across home and export.Pirates continue to be popular with kids and adults alike. Current speculation on a possible sixth Pirates of the Caribbean film shows that this theme is a hit in the family space.
A unique wordplay idea that has not yet been explored in any children's books. It therefore has the potential to become a standout hit.
