🌊✨ Cover Reveal + Publishing Announcement! ✨🌊

We’re so excited to share the upcoming 2026 release of Ahoy, Mate, Ahoy! Miss Molly Molloy, a heartfelt new picture book by PEI author Lisa Carmody Doiron, with illustrations by PEI artist Patrick Guindon. 💙⚓️💙

Set against the salty breeze and red cliffs of Prince Edward Island, ⚓️ Ahoy Mate Ahoy! Miss Molly Molloy ⚓️is a lyrical tale of love, legacy, and the special bond between a father and daughter. Each morning, they cast their lines into the sea—but it’s not just fish they’re reeling in. With every tide and tangled net, their connection deepens, tied tight like the Celtic knot that links them.

👩‍🏫 About the Author: Lisa teaches Grade One in Stratford, PEI, and draws inspiration from the joy and curiosity of her students. She’s also the author of Perfectly Noisy, and when she’s not writing or teaching, you’ll find her running, playing ukulele, or exploring the island with her family.

🎨 About the Illustrator: Patrick is an artist, writer, and teacher based in Prince Edward Island. Through his Creative Rebel Studio, he inspires kids and adults alike to make art with heart. When he’s not in the studio, he’s enjoying island life with his partner and their four kids.

📖 Ahoy, Mate, Ahoy! Miss Molly Molloy
