Reviews
Bright and energetic illustrations accompany the story, adding to its appeal. Sure, it's bibliotherapy, but children with disabilities will appreciate Ruby's desire to be treated like any normal kid because her disability does NOT define her. Classmates would also benefit from this viewpoint. - Puget Sound Council for Reviewing Children's and Young Adult Literature
Andrés' upbeat text, translated from Spanish, will engage young readers while gently reminding parents that nondisabled and disabled kids alike need rules and boundaries. Serrano's energetic cartoon illustrations vividly depict Ruby's mischievous antics and infectious emotions. (...) Humorously insightful - Kirkus
The cast's exaggerated facial expressions amp up the silly factor in the empathetic picture book introducing Ruby, a little girl who's more than a little clumsy. -ForeWord Reviews
