The One and Only Ruby
Book 3 of the The One and Only series
Young elephant Ruby is expected to celebrate her growing tusks with a traditional Tuskday ceremony at the wildlife sanctuary. Instead, the milestone revives memories of Africa, her mother's death at the hands of poachers, and the difficult path that brought her to Ivan and Bob. Telling her story helps Ruby connect fear about what tusks represent with the love and history her herd wants to honor. Tender and age-appropriate, this novel suits readers who enjoy animal narrators, friendship, African wildlife, and stories that let celebration and grief belong to the same growing child.
