Journal: Ruby Lu, Brave and True


Ruby Lu, Brave and True by Lenore Look and illustrated by Anne Wilsdorf

I thought this book was cute. It took me a little while to get into it, but overall it was an enjoyable reading experience. I thought it was interesting how there were so many little stories within the main story, but felt that Look did a good job on keeping them all connected and flowing. I think that kids would enjoy this because, like Clementine they would relate to Ruby and her adventures! I also think this would be a good multicultural book, because it deals with people immigrating to a new country, and also trying to keep their cultural influences alive while living in a different culture.
