This Way, Ruby! is a heartwarming chapter book about Ruby, the smallest of five ducklings, who is often chided by her siblings for falling behind because she's too busy observing the world around her. Her brothers and sisters frequently call out, "This way, Ruby!" urging her to keep up. However, when a sudden storm leaves the ducklings lost and disoriented, it's Ruby's unique ability to notice details, like a specific willow tree or a dragonfly, that becomes their guide back to safety. This story beautifully illustrates how different strengths are valuable and how those who seem to lag behind might possess the very qualities needed to lead. It's perfect for children aged 4-11, offering a gentle adventure that celebrates individuality and the importance of observation.
