I've been posting shamelessly about EDDIE WHATEVER, my new book. Well, this is the guy it's dedicated to, who got his vaccine today!

This is one incredibly creative teacher's Jamboard for EDDIE WHATEVER. I am totally blown away!


Congratulations to the conscientious people at Carolrhoda/Lerner Books for the Boston Globe Horn Book 2021 honor award! The extraordinary book is Unspeakable; the Tulsa Race Massacre, by Carole Boston Weatherford, illustrated by Floyd Cooper.


Always delighted when someone mentions my book online, but this? "Steal Away Home Lois Ruby. As recognized, adventure as with ease as experience about lesson, amusement, as capably as deal can be gotten by." Wha??? ...


Looking forward to a virtual visit with 5th graders at Blanding Elem (Effingham, GA school district) on March 16. Thanks, Ms. Gililland! Anyone else want an author visit?


Just ordered THE SECRET LIFE OF KITTY GRANGER from bookshop.org. It's out of stock now, but worth waiting for!


Oh, how I wish you could own those letters, Jonathan.


I so much enjoyed your eighth graders yesterday. Thanks for giving me the hour with them, Ms. Sutton!

Thank you so much for sharing with our learners @LoisRubyWriter!!



Now that school's in session (one way or another), please think about sharing RED MENACE with your students in 5th grade and up. Email me for details on how to use this story set in 1953 during the McCarthy communist witch hunt and the Mickey Mantle baseball glory days.

You must read this Q&A interview Deborah Kalb did with author, Jeffrey Michael Ruby. deborahkalbbooks.blogspot.com/2020/08/q-with… Okay, he mentions his mother, but otherwise, it's pure gold about his book, PENELOPE MARCH IS MELTING and his eclectic reading taste.


Today! It's publication day for book number 21!
