Brilliantly subtle and fun…
Write’s latest installment in The Little Ruth series is an excellent blend of engaging narrative and valuable life lessons. A chaotic scene unfolds when Abby and Annie, Little Ruth’s younger siblings, rummage through her cherished book bag without her consent. As Ruth stumbles upon the aftermath, she is consumed with frustration and fury. Will their mother’s special “discussion ball” solve the issue? Write’s writing is both accessible and engaging, skillfully presenting complex themes like communication and the importance of second chances in a way that is understandable and relatable for young readers. By featuring a diverse range of characters from various backgrounds, the book ensures that every child can see themselves reflected in its pages, promoting a strong sense of inclusion and validation. The illustrations are integral to the storytelling, bringing the narrative to life with their vibrant and charming details. A gem that ticks every box—it entertains, educates, promotes meaningful dialogue, and celebrates diversity.
