Talk Like a Pirate Facebook Party September 19th
It was three years ago this month that I found out about International Talk Like a Pirate Day. On September 19th the entire world is asked to “talk like a pirate” for the day! This idea was started over 10 years ago by Mark “Cap’n Slappy” Summers and John “Chumbucket” Baur. I had a chance to interview these two fun mates and you can read more about how the idea to “Talk Like a Pirate” came to them and why they chose September 19th as the day to talk like a pirate here on my author site. As many of you know, my first storybook app and book, Penelope the Purple Pirate, features a girl pirate who loves to have adventures and uses her magical coat tree to transform her into far away lands so I am a big fan of anything to do with pirates!
Penelope will be at LEGOLAND Resort!
This year I am so excited to be working with LEGOLAND California Resort and Park to encourage kids and kids-at-heart to enjoy this fun day! I will be hosting our Talk Like a Pirate Facebook Party from one of the LEGOLAND California Resort Pirate rooms and will take pictures of the pirates who will be roaming around the hotel that night to share at the party! These very pirates will be doing a Penelope reading around 7pm at the hotel if you happen to be in the area and want to enjoy some treasure and Penelope cake! We will be handing out loads of pirate goodies so make sure to don your pirate gear, and get ready to Talk Like a Pirate!
