Synopsis



Baby Ruby, like so many children, doesn’t want to go to bed. After she gets a bath and has her hair brushed, no one can find her! Is she rooting through the closet? Or is she playing with kitty? Explore along with Baby Ruby as she avoids bedtime—but not for too long . . .
 
Lovable Ruby will charm bedtime readers with her curiosity and playfulness. Celebrated illustrator Rohan Henry, author of The Gift, brings his unique style to children’s books for the first time with remarkable results. His deceptively simple line drawings evoke the small moments that capture a child’s imagination.

The program helps children and young adults diagnosed with autism and other related challenges to improve their social skills and group communication.

Reviews

PreS—Ruby, a curly-haired toddler, leads her parents and their pet cat on a merry and familiar bedtime chase in this author's debut title. Simple text describes the child's nightly rituals and repeated getaways from her patient mother; it pairs well with the spare black-line drawings punctuated with spots of red, yellow, blue, and pink. Ruby's capers eventually wear her (and the cat) out and, yawning, she allows herself to be scooped up by her father and placed into her crib. Strikingly rendered in its unfussiness, this cozy and recognizable tale will resonate with young and old alike and be asked for over and over.—Kathleen Finn, Winooski Memorial Library, VT
