THE PLEASURE OF READING
For young readers who love ships, islands and treasure stories. Choose a stop along the way and imagine what you would bring. Discuss what helps Raphael move forward: curiosity, ideas or the support of his family.
CONTINUE THE DISCOVERY
Raphael — Pirate of the Seas follows a child growing up aboard the Sao Jose. Crossings, distant islands and exploration give the story its adventurous character. His parents and the bonds within the crew also offer a way to talk about what helps us feel secure when discovering somewhere new.
After an episode, imagine what Raphael might write in a travel diary: one place, one encounter and one thing learned. Drawing an island or choosing what to take aboard a ship can extend the conversation. These shared-reading suggestions leave room for a child’s ideas without revealing the story’s outcome.
