Nathan Becomes...

Nathan's imagination can take him anywhere-even across the sparkling sea!

Nathan is a bright, imaginative boy with cerebral palsy who uses a wheelchair and communicates through his wonderfully expressive eyes. One evening, as his mom begins reading aloud, the bedroom fades away, the sound of waves fills the air, and Nathan's wheelchair transforms into a magnificent captain's chair.

Suddenly, Nathan is the captain of a great pirate ship!

With his mom, Dave, a cheerful parrot, and a lively pirate crew beside him, Captain Nathan follows a mysterious map toward a tiny golden star. Their journey leads across sparkling waters, past friendly sea creatures, and onto a hidden island where something extraordinary is waiting to be discovered.

But finding the treasure will require curiosity, teamwork-and a captain who notices what everyone else has missed.

What will Captain Nathan and his crew find inside the mysterious wooden chest?

Filled with adventure, imagination, and inclusive representation, Nathan Becomes... The Curious Pirate celebrates the many ways children communicate, lead, and inspire others. It reminds readers that heroes do not all look, speak, or move the same-and that every child deserves to see themselves at the center of an unforgettable adventure.
