Meet Grislygrin, the pirate who's so fearsome, he even scares himself when he looks in the mirror!

All the boat's crew are afraid of Grislygrin, the fearsome pirate. When they hear the knock, knock, knock of his wooden leg they run to hide. But, what would happen if one day someone changed the wooden leg for a rubber duck? Hilarious consequences await the once terrified crew in this beautifully illustrated book!

'A short and sweet story about sharing and friendship. I thought the illustrations were so fun and the writing succinct and effective. I really smiled at the last page because it was so delightful.' Kirkus Review

About the Author

JosΓ© Carlos AndrΓ©s started writing theatre for children. And stories, loads of stories. He is fascinated by writing, because it allows him to create new worlds full of laughter and emotions.
He has published theatre plays for children and families, a theatre guide, storytelling, theatre art and clowning for all ages, and of course, stories for picture books. Myriam Cameros Sierra studied at the Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain, where she came into contact with the world of illustration, comics and animation. From that moment on she decided to dedicate herself to illustration in all its facets. Today she combines her work as an illustrator with teaching, addressing the need for critical visual literacy in a world surrounded by images.
