A Story Is to Share: How Ruth Krauss Found Another Way to Tell a Tale

This picture-book biography introduces artist and children’s writer Ruth Krauss as a child whose unconventional play and clothing express her individuality. She rides a bicycle inside her home, wears clothes backward, and experiments with the violin even when others do not welcome those choices. As an adult, she becomes a painter and continues seeking new ways to create. Its references include A Very Special House, The Carrot Seed, and A Hole Is to Dig.
