Product Description
pTo Ruby, there is nobody in the entire world more wonderful than her pa -- her log-riding lumberjack pa, who calls her "my little jewel" and comes home smelling of spruce and fir. And there's nothing Ruby would rather do than follow in her father's large bootprints, working in the lumber camp./ppBut a lumber camp is no place for an eight-year-old girl. She belongs in school, learning how to read and write. It is there that she discovers another passion-for the world that opens up to her in books./ppThen, when circumstances suddenly change, Ruby fears she has lost the two things she loves most. Through her struggle, she discovers in herself the courage, the kindness, and the talent she so admires in her father./p

For the love of reading January 2, 2004

This is an old fashioned story with all the elements of a good read. The Pa in the story dies, leaving behind a wife and 11 children. Ruby, the oldest, has been going to school just long enough to learn how to read and write. With Pa gone, she must quit school to care for the younger children while her Ma becomes the cook for the local lumber camp. Ruby loves books and wants to become a teacher some day. How will this happen now?br This story shows how a simple kindness to a stranger can be a life-changing event. I don't want to give away the ending - let's just say that if you love to read and share that joy with others - you'll find this book to be a welcome addition to any home or school library. br I can't wait to bring it to my elementary classroom and share it with my students!
