Ruby to the Rescue — Emlyn Chand

Smart Books for Smart Kids (Loving Birds Helps Too) - For Kids 3-8 Years OldRuby, a young phoenix, has always been captivated by the people living in nearby cities. Unfortunately, ancient law states that phoenixes and people must remain separate in order to maintain the world's magical balance. When a little boy needs rescuing, however, Ruby decides saving a life is more important than upholding an outdated superstition. The Phoenix Council says that if Ruby grants her new friend his heart's true wish that he will forget their encounter and order will be restored, but what about Ruby's heart? Is she ready to lose the best friend she's ever had?[Children's Picture Books, Birds, Animals, Values, Friendship, Courage, Magic, Adventure]"Basically, Ruby teaches us, the readers, that everyone is important, no matter what. In the story, it's the lesson that magical birds are not any better than humans, and both species matter, even though the phoenixes believe humans and phoenixes should never mingle. In real life, the lesson is to never judge someone based on race, gender, sexuality, etc. At least that was what I took away from it. It's a good lesson for both kids and adults. I quite enjoyed Ruby. It was a cute, quick read that my 22-month-old son (named Phoenix) also enjoyed. He especially liked the pictures. I would definitely recommend 'Ruby to the Rescue' to kids and parents alike." ~ Jasmine B."RUBY TO THE RESCUE" by Emlyn Chand (Illustrated by Noelle Giffin)Evolved Publishing brings you the twelfth of the charming and colorful "Bird Brain Books" series.

I have, and while I love these furry creatures, I've made it my mission to give our feathered friends the spotlight they so rightly deserve.
