An enchanting and empowering read…
Write kick starts her The Little Ruth series with a charming story about a young girl’s first day at a new school. With summer break over, Ruth and her siblings prepare for a new school year. Ruth is very excited, but on the first day, she feels overwhelmed in the bustling halls, struggling to make friends. Will Ruth find her way in the school? This heartfelt tale portrays a child’s anxiety and resilience while navigating a new school, highlighting the importance of family support and proactive problem-solving. With relatable experiences and heartwarming moments of growth, it encourages readers to step out of their comfort zone and embrace new beginnings. Ruth’s preparations and rituals reveal her unique personality and coping mechanisms, making her journey relatable to many children. The overwhelming size and bustling energy of the new school, the structured icebreaker activity where Ruth bravely shares her passion for art, and her initial struggle to connect with peers during lunchtime all strike a chord, making Ruth’s story highly relatable. Andrea McAllister’s vibrant illustrations complement the story flawlessly, adding visual richness. A mut-read for children facing similar transitions.
