Ruby Rose is Coming to Town

Ruby Rose
Ruby Rose
Whatcha goin' to do with so many clothes?

Stack 'em in the attic?
Store 'em 'neath the stairs?
Leave 'em alone?
Till nobody cares?

Too many showers!
Too many gifts!
When are you goin' to learn
About being thrift?

Share whatcha have
Give whatcha can
That's what we call
Care for fellow-man

Think about your sisters
Think about your brothers
Think about your neighbors
And thousands of others

Soon you'll be happy
Soon you'll be proud
Soon you'll be shouting
"Hooray!" out-loud




Ruby Rose Comes to Town is my newest book. The poem you've just read is a little jingle I created for the Little Bloomsbury Art Show, which was based on promoting peace & hope in an uncertain world through a sound financial basis, including being thrifty. 




Recycling is not a major theme in the book Ruby Rose Comes to Town, but definitely a minor theme which can be pulled from the story. 

Since I am preparing to go live on Kickstarter.com to raise funds for the publication, I wanted to include this jingle. Through friends, these 7 beautiful and talented children agreed to help me with this part of the project. 



These children are absolutely a delight to be around and brilliant. Together with their moms, they created a skit to go along with the Ruby Rose poem.  

You will be able to view it as soon as we get the promotional video completed. I hope you will enjoy it. I certainly had a blast the evening of the filming - 2 dogs, 2 families & relatives, pizza & a party atmosphere added to the fun!






Ready for action!
