Kes Gray is one of the UK's bestselling picture book authors. His Oi books alone have sold 2.5 million copies across home and export.Pirates continue to be popular with kids and adults alike. Current speculation on a possible sixth Pirates of the Caribbean film shows that this theme is a hit in the family space. A unique wordplay idea that has not yet been explored in any children's books. It therefore has the potential to become a standout hit.

Reviews for The Hoys

“For little ones, the main appeal of pirates has been the chance to say: Arrr! Kes Gray has fun with this – and particularly “Ahoy There!”, a phrase that inspires his picture book in which a pirate goes looking for a hoy (and finds some)” * The Sunday Times *
