When I received my envelope of goodies from Barefoot Press awhile back, Ruby’s School Walk (Bilingual Portuguese & English) (Barefoot Bilinguals) in paperback was among the books.

on “She’d learned long ago that you couldn’t change the world, or even understand how it worked. All you could do was survive and make sure the people you cared about survived, too.”
