Ruby wants her friends to like her more than she wants to be nice to the new girl at school.Once Ruby starts being mean to the new girl, Nelly, she can’t stop. She likes being part of Yaz and Keya’s group, so she also makes fun of Nelly and hurts her feelings. It’s like Ruby’s on an out-of-control roller coaster, but it’s up to her to stop the ride.
When I was a child, I re-envisioned neighborhood games like wire ball, traveled to space in my under-the-desk rocket, built snow castles for faraway kingdoms, and climbed trees taller than the sun (even after falling into a trash can). I also liked putting on shows in our living room and attempting gymnastic tricks–key word: attempting. Now, I embrace that sense of wonder and create stories to empower children, teens, and families. I love all-things-Philadelphia, all forms of music, and all people who believe in kindness. My Quiet Ship is my debut picture book. You can likely find me reading it while savoring dark chocolate, attempting gymnastic tricks, or cuddling with my two daughters, hubby, and our dogs.
