2Minute ReadWhy we chose “Daniela The Pirate’
Gender stereotypes have long been an topic of discussion in literature and also in the world of children’s books. We’re always all the more pleased then when we find wonderful picture books that don’t revolve around stereotypical gender roles. Here we talk about the latest addition to our Librio Library. This month, it’s “Daniela The Pirate ” by Susanne Isern and Ana Gomez.
Even though everyone is afraid of the dangerous crew of the Black Croc, Daniela makes every effort to find the legendary pirate ship. After all, she also wants to become a pirate. In order to be accepted into the crew of the Black Croc, the girl has to face the difficult challenges the Captain sets her in order to prove her worth as a pirate. Will Daniela be able to fulfill her dream of a pirate life?
