When a gale wind drives the pirate ship Daisy upriver, Captain Oliver and his first mate, Rosie, decide to settle in the small village of Mousam and live as farmers. They soon discover that learning how to grow grain is easy compared to trying to make friends, especially with their pirate reputations. Then a sudden storm comes up, and the captain's talent for sailing and his uncanny ability to predict the weather help to uncover the greatest treasure of all for both the captain and the villagers of Mousam. Loretta Krupinski's wonderfully satisfying picture book about community, self-reliance, and friendship is rich with detailed gouache paintings that also illustrate the weather sayings woven throughout.
