Reviews
"Potatoes for Pirate Pearl is about farming and understanding where our food comes from, but it’s also about unlikely friendships and forming bonds with someone whose perspective is wildly different from our own."
Jennifer Concepcion
the author in School Library Journal
"Burgett’s vibrant, expressive illustrations fully immerse the reader in Pirate Pearl’s world. The images are textured and detailed, showing fully imagined worlds both on land and at sea. Ultimately, this book offers a low-pressure introduction to potato farming and nutrition in a way that is both accessible and enjoyable.
