Fox by Kate Banks
Ruby was made in 1934 by Austin Motor Company--she's shiny, she's beautiful, and this is her story Gorgeously illustrated with pictures so intricate they can occupy readers for hours, this is the story of Ruby, a beloved vintage car that once belonged to author Colin Thompson in real life. While flipping through the pages of the lavish interior, enjoy all the colorful details, but be sure to pay attention There are clues to the six letters and numbers that make up Ruby's license plate number hidden throughout the book, and readers are encouraged to join in on finding them as they learn where Ruby comes from and what makes her unique.
Kate Banks is the author of many books for children, among them Max's Words, And If the Moon Could Talk, winner of the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award, and The Night Worker, winner of the Charlotte Zolotow Award. She grew up in Maine, where she and her two sisters and brother spent a lot of time outdoors, and where Banks developed an early love of reading. I especially liked picture books, she says, and the way in which words and illustrations could create a whole new world in which sometimes real and other times magical and unexpected things could happen. Banks attended Wellesley College and received her masters in history at Columbia University. She lived in Rome for eight years but now lives in the South of France with her husband and two sons, Peter Anton and Maximilian. Gabi Swiatkowska has illustrated many notable books for children, including My Name is Yoon, for which she received the Ezra Jack Keats New Illustrator Award. She lives in France.
