A Friend for Ruby - Sofie Laguna

. .

Résumé :
Ruby led the creature out into the garden. She drew a dancing circle in the sand. 'I choose you!' she said to the creature.

Walking along the beach, Ruby finds a strange creature on the shore. She takes it home, feeds it and makes a bed of straw for it in her cubby - but a cubby is no place for a creature from the sea.

Ruby must draw on all her resources to help the creature find their way home - and perhaps, along the way, she might just find an unexpected friendship.

A whimsical tale of friendship, compassion and resourcefulness, from a wonderfully talented creative team....
