Overview

This sweet and funny story is about feeling different and embracing who we are. This sweet and funny story is about feeling different and embracing who we are. A fun and original story by Barbara Davis-Pyles, author of Grizzly Boy and Stubby the Fearless Squid, about a troll named Cliff who isn't very good at sitting still or being a ""proper"" troll. He'd much rather be a pirate anyway! ""Ahoy!"" he shouts upon meeting other trolls, who then remind him that the proper troll hello is ""Go away!"" After a report card full of Fs in bridge building, stoney staring, and even goat gobbling (he's a vegetarian!), Cliff sets off for pirate school. But are things different for him there? Aye, that they arrrre! This humorous story is about appreciating who we are and knowing there is a place where we fit in the world.
