Tania is an experienced sailor. The Around the World Yacht race was her next adventure and what an adventure it was. 3. Using the pirate parrots Squeak and Squawk, learn about self-talk and how to change it. Storytelling and metaphors are a powerful way to teach and learn. Tania's book uses the pirate metaphor and her own personal story to teach children how to have positive thoughts and in return a happier life.
