The Star Pirate. 10th Anniversary Edition

El pirata de las estrellas. Ed. 10º aniversario invites young readers into a whimsical and meaningful adventure where the sea and the stars meet dreams and discovery. Written by Albert Arrayás, this 10th-anniversary edition celebrates the power of empathy and friendship through the tale of Ulises “Barbarroja”, a pirate so hungry for wonder that he attempts to devour the stars. What happens when the sky empties and the Moon waits in silence? On this journey he meets mermaids, giant whales, swirling winds and hidden treasure chests — but ultimately learns that connection and kindness are the true riches.

Intended for children aged around 5-6 years and above, the book spans 40 beautifully illustrated pages, bound in a sturdy hardcover edition by Babulinka Libros. The story merges lively adventure with emotional education: through playful scenes and a colourful cast, it encourages young minds to reflect on how our actions affect others and how friendship grows through understanding.

In a classroom or home library, this volume works as both an engaging read-aloud and a discussion starter. What does the pirate expect to gain by eating the stars? How does losing them change his world — and the world of those around him? Rich visual detail and memorable characters make this edition perfect for early readers, parents and teachers seeking a story that entertains and nurtures emotional growth.

Discover this special edition as a gift or a foundational read in your child’s emotional literacy journey — a story where even a pirate can learn the greatest treasure is empathy.
