A Story Is to Share: How Ruth Krauss Found Another Way to Tell a TaleHardcover, 11 October 2022

The extraordinarily told, one-of-a-kind story of legendary author and children's book icon Ruth Krauss

Born
a baby
late at night
there's no parade
just crashing rain

She listens listens
writes and draws
stitches pages
sews a book
She finds another way
to tell a tale
