PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNG
by Helena Pittman (Author), Galen Pittman (Illustrator)
Intrepid, sensitive, funny and creative, nine-almost ten-year old Ruthie Pincus narrates these family stories, based on the author's childhood, which plumb the depths of relationships between four siblings and their parents, living in 1950's Brooklyn, New York. Encountering her challenges, conflicts, sorrows and joys, Ruthie finds her courage, her place in her family, and herself. Ruthie Pincus of Brooklyn is written for young adults, and for those others who remember their own childhoods, and so remain forever young. Several stories about these characters have appeared in Cricket Magazine, and Pappa and Ruthie are featured in the author's Uncle Phil's Diner (Carolrhoda Books, 1998) which was a Smithsonian List Book.
