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.
