Ruby in Her Own Time

(4) PS Illustrated by Rebecca Harry. In a nest, all but one of five duck eggs hatch at the same time. Ruby eventually hatches, and she eats and swims "in her own time." Ruby doesn't lose any time learning to fly, though her parents worry that she'll never return. The sweet images and story may be precious, but the message that it's okay to do things at your own pace may reassure some.
