first days


As small children shuffle off for their first days of school this week (good luck little Inny! Aunty Tina is thinking of you!! xx),
Kids Style File has recommended Ruby Makes a Friend as

"...the perfect book to read to a sibling who has bravely waved
goodbye to their older brother or sister for the day..."


That made me happy. But some news that will make you happy — they're also offering their readers 20% off everything (including Ruby!) in their lovely online store until March 31st. Check 'em out!
