Jay Runs Away: With Six Swashbuckling Letter Flaps!

A pirate-packed picture book about the arrival of a new sibling—with real lift-the-flap letters for an interactive reading experience! Perfect for fans of Emma Yarlett’s Dragon Post and classics like The Jolly Postman.

There’s a new baby at home, and Jay isn’t sure about her AT ALL. There’s only one option—for Jay to run away with the pirates! Sounds fun, right? Well, Jay’s letters home soon reveal that life on the ship isn’t all pirate parties and sea shanties… In fact, perhaps a little sister isn’t so bad? And maybe Jay would rather come home after all?

Told entirely through letters between Jay and his family, with six foldout letters to open and look inside, this hilarious story glitters with swashbuckling mischief and lively art from The Leaf Thief illustrator, Nicola Slater.
