I love the character, Ruby. Her story in this book is really beautiful. Katherine Applegate has an amazing ability to teach through story. Her themes seem to always connect to conservations and taking care of the earth.
Lessons from the book:
- An elephant is never an elephant without its heard. In other words, separating a member of a species from its own kind is inherently cruel.
We learned this during covid! - What gifts did the world give you today? What gifts did you give the world?
Goodreads says:
Ruby’s story picks up a few months after the events of The One and Only Bob. Now living in a wildlife sanctuary, Ruby’s caretaker from the elephant orphanage in Africa where she grew up is visiting. Seeing him again brings back a flood of memories - both happy and sad - of her life before the circus, and she recounts the time she spent in the African savannah to Ivan and Bob.
