About the book:

Ages 4-8 yrs

A debut picture book about a curious student who finds herself in trouble for talking in class--even though she just wants to share all that she's learned.

"Did you know that flamingos don't have teeth?" Questions, facts, and dreams--Ruby René could talk for hours. Once she got going, it was hard for her to stop. It didn't matter if it was history, science, or the lunch menu--Ruby René had so much to say! But when her teacher called home because she found her sharing distracting, Ruby vowed to keep quiet. Until . . . she finds the perfect outlet for her gift of gab.

With charming text by debut author/educator Ashley Iman and colorful illustrations by Gladys Jose, Ruby René Had So Much to Say is a celebration of owning your voice, honing your skills, and turning challenges into opportunities.
