A Fire Engine for Ruthie by Lesléa Newman,
illustrated by Cyd Moore
Ruthie often visits her grandmother, who thinks she likes playing dress ups, playing with dolls, and all things stereotypically girlish. However, to Grandma’s surprise Ruthie has other ideas… What if, like Brian, (a boy who is grandma’s neighbour) she likes playing with toys with wheels? Ruthie runs to join Brian instead. Will Grandma play along? Features energetic illustrations exploring loving intergenerational relationships in non-gender-conformity.
