Reading Week is never an easy undertaking, but the kids LOVE it so much! Reading with students is my favorite part of my job! @LutherSchool #TheOneAndOnlyRuby #ReadingWeek2024 @kaaauthor

I loved developing Ruby's voice in #TheOneAndOnlyRuby, but it was also such a pleasure to dig deeper into Stella's life β especially her lasting influence on Ivan, Bob, and Ruby. π¦πΆπ
In a way, I think of THE ONE AND ONLY RUBY as Stella's book, too. @HarperChildrens #mglit

I've written many series, but never have I found such comfort in the company of a group of characters as I have with Ivan, Bob, and Ruby. β€οΈπ¦πΆπ

@kaaauthor My niece is reading Bob on vacation right now, and she has been inspired to think of a One and Only story about my dog. Thanks for inspiring young readers and writers! #theoneandonlyivan #TheOneandOnlyBob #TheOneandOnlyRuby

I can't help but smile whenever I see Patricia Castelao's beautiful illustrations for #TheOneAndOnlyRuby.
She's spent a lot of time with Ruby and friends, and her ability to convey so much emotion in animal characters is just extraordinary. ππ

Ruby is growing up when we meet her in #TheOneAndOnlyRuby. It's scary and confusing and the rules don't always make sense β just like real life.
I hope her story helps kids feel a little less alone. And if it makes them laugh, too, that would be swell. ππ @HarperChildrens
