Ruby at the Gate

Based on a true story, Ruby at the Gate tells the story of Ruby, a lamb born weak and cared for by Robert Moses, a sheep farmer in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Ruby developed a deep bond with her shepherd. Once she became strong enough to join the other sheep, she waited at the gate to greet him every day at feeding time. This is the second edition of Ruby at the Gate, updated with delightful illustrations by Erika Cummings. According to librarians, the book has been very popular since its first publication in 2009.
