Ruby is always busy -- she loves to make things, watch things grow and figure out how things work, with her dog Teddy by her side. And Ruby has lots of ideas about what she wants to be: maybe an animal conservationist? Or an archaeologist? She's great at excavating (i.e. digging holes). Or maybe an inventor? She's already invented a book with smells instead of words (so dogs can read it) and a time machine (the dinosaurs \u003ci\u003edid\u003c\/i\u003e have feathers after all, and the future is looking wild). This is Ruby, and this is her world.\u003cb\u003eOne of \u003ci\u003eCCBC\u003c\/i\u003e’s Best Books for Kids and Teens, Fall 2021 \u003cb\u003e— Starred Pick\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Step right into Ruby’s fabulous world, full of the ordinary and extraordinary.” \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e—Kirkus Reviews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e“Children will recognize Ruby’s joyful independent exploration of the many delights and opportunities available to a curious mind.
