NZ Picture Books

After publishing her brilliant memoir, Ruby is adored by everyone, including a huge number of very young fans. So now Ruby has written a picture book aimed at 4- to 7-year-olds. It covers all the key Ruby topics: friendship, teamwork, feelings, and the belief that everyone is different and special. All wonderful messages for every child. The girls in the book are all based on Ruby's childhood friends. And the first-time illustrator, Samoni Cavander, is also a friend of Ruby's. This is another example of the way Ruby highlights others, always.
