Hello, My Name Is Ruby: A Picture Book
by Philip C. Stead
Age:Infant-Kindergarten
Animals: Birds
I love Philip C. Stead. This time around, he presents an inquisitive little bird called Ruby. She visits all sorts of other birds asking them questions about themselves and their lives until she meets a grumpy old bird that turns her day to grey. But, soon enough, another bird comes along and Ruby can't help but ask her for her name. The bird does not know what a name is and Ruby explains that "A name is a sound that is all yours" and follows this by chirping her name: ROOO-beee.
The illustrations are varied, and colorful with distinct and beautiful birds. (I would love to see a nursery with Stead's illustrations.) And the imaginative story behind a namesake is touching. Keep 'em coming, Sir Stead!
