For me, a good book tells a satisfying story with well-drawn characters I can connect with and care about. A really wonderful book builds on that and shows me something true that I hadn't realized I needed to know -- in this case how hard, but how utterly important it is to learn for ourselves how to stand tall and be brave. The way we learn that is different for all of us, and that's okay.
Ferruolo does an amazing job of creating characters who walk right off the page and and show me who they are. Along the journey I learned about ruby moons, how to get chickadees to feed from your hand, how to simulate flying while wearing snow shoes, and what a "Game Changer" is (trust me, you'll want one). Masterful storytelling. I look forward to more.

A Great New Read Aloud
I just finished the book: Ruby in the Sky. As an educator for 23 years, I choose my read alouds very carefully because it is the most important part of the day in my classroom. If you are looking for a book to bring your class together, teach empathy and the challenges of finding your own voice this is a must read. I will be reading this book to my 4th grade class, but I believe it could be read up into middle school and beyond. Topics such as, space, Apollo 11, phases of the moon, astronauts, criminal justice, immigration, empathy, friendship, socio economic diversity, gender equality and more are woven throughout this book. There's even a dog. <3 Check it out!
