Product Description

Mother and Father Duck have five eggs in their nest and they are ALL special. Father Duck is worried about Ruby – she is slow to hatch and the last to eat and swim. But Mother Duck knows that Ruby will flourish in her own time, and sure enough, when her turn comes to fly, she is the strongest and steadiest little duck in the sky.

A warm and reassuring story that encourages children to discover the world at their own pace. Heartbreakingly beautiful, this is a very special book.

Customer Reviews

Ruby Flew Too!
Ruby Flew Too! and Ruby in Her Own Time are indeed the same book, Thanks Amazon for recomending I get them both! Both books are good, but only one copy is needed!

A heart-warming read that appeals across the ages
What a fantastic book. I bought it for my son 3 years ago because I liked the illustrations so much and he absolutely adored it. It got forgotten after a few months and was left lying on the bookshelf until my daughter found it recently. Time has meant that my son can read his own stories now and this is a favourite to read to his little sister. Beautifully written with a lovely message. The illustrations are appealing and Ruby is once more a firm favourite in our house.
