AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'When Ruby sees an amazing creature on the beach on her way home from school, she is hopeful she's found a new friend... A gorgeous story about kindness and family and friendship, brought beautifully to life by two incredibly talented creators.

'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.' (Publication summary)
