Ruby the Rambunctious

Reviews / Votes

Andres' upbeat text, translated from Spanish, will engage young readers while gently reminding parents that nondisabled and disabled kids alike need rules and boundaries. Serrano's energetic cartoon illustrations vividly depict Ruby's mischievous antics and infectious emotions. (...) Humorously insightful - Kirkus The cast's exaggerated facial expressions amp up the silly factor in the empathetic picture book introducing Ruby, a little girl who's more than a little clumsy. -ForeWord Reviews A fun story evolves where Ruby does everything in her power to assure her parents return to treating her equally. - Midwest Book Review Bright and energetic illustrations accompany the story, adding to its appeal. Sure, it's bibliotherapy, but children with disabilities will appreciate Ruby's desire to be treated like any normal kid because her disability does NOT define her. Classmates would also benefit from this viewpoint. - Puget Sound Council for Reviewing Children's and Young Adult Literature
