Ruthie does not feel very brave. Growing up on a farm in Saskatchewan, Canada, during the Great Depression of the 1930's is tough. Ruthie loves their horses and her dog Rover, but there has hardly been any rain since she was born, and her family is very poor. She worries that kids at school will laugh at her clothes, and that she will make a fool of herself during a game. And although she has fun playing with her brother Roy, she wishes that he didn't tease her so much. In the midst of her fears and worries, can Ruthie learn to be a little bit brave when she has to? Written for children aged 8 to 12 to read on their own or with parents or teachers, this book also includes discussion questions.
