Tui T. Sutherland contributed to Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean publishing line with tie-in books based on the third film, At World’s End. The Movie Storybook (2007) is a picture book version of the film’s plot, designed for younger fans who saw the movie in theaters and wanted to revisit Captain Jack Sparrow’s adventures in book form.

The prose novelization of At World’s End followed later, offering a more detailed retelling of the film’s story for middle grade readers. These tie-in projects were part of Sutherland’s early career work writing for licensed properties, a phase that also included her Muppets picture books and other franchise-related titles before she moved into original fiction full time.
