The Amazing Captain K: A Special Needs Space Pirate Adventure - Paperback

by Catty Flores (Illustrator), Karen Swartz (Illustrator), Christine E. Schulze (Author)

A nonverbal girl and a boy in a rocket-powered wheelchair go on a zany outer space adventure in this picture book celebrating diversity and special needs!

Kane and Kaylee, the notorious "K" pirates, fly their magic ship all over outer space looking for star sparkles and food. LOTS of food. So when their ship crash lands on a moon made of candy, you'd think they were in heaven.

But someone else has landed there too: Claire and her crew of "C" pirates. Claire isn't willing to share so much as a single peppermint with anyone, certainly not with pirates whose names start with "K."

However, not all of Claire's crew feels the same way. With the help of the inventive Cash, can Kane and Kaylee show Claire that being different isn't all that bad-that in fact, being different can be downright amazing?

Join the "C" and "K" crews on their crazy space adventure to find out!
