An unexpected friendship leads to a heartwarming adventure about kindness, compassion and finding where we belong.
When Ruby discovers a mysterious creature washed up on the beach, she knows she has found someone special. Excited by her unusual new friend, Ruby brings the creature home, where she feeds it, cares for it and makes a comfortable bed of straw in her cubby.
But as their friendship grows, Ruby begins to understand that her new companion doesn't belong in her backyard. The creature belongs to the sea, and helping it return home will require courage, creativity and a very big heart.
Written by award-winning author Sofie Laguna and illustrated by Marc McBride, A Friend for Ruby is a beautifully imagined picture book about empathy, friendship and putting another's needs before our own. With evocative illustrations and a tender message, this charming story encourages young readers to appreciate the natural world and discover the true meaning of caring for a friend.
“A familiar story distinguished by striking illustrations.” — Kirkus Reviews
“A friend for Ruby is still full of whimsy and charm.” — Reading Time
“Marc McBride’s vibrant illustrations are wondrous to behold.” — Buzz Words Magazine
