Ruby-Anne is a small girl with a big imagination. When her mother asks her to deliver a casserole to Grandma’s house, Ruby-Anne knows from fairy tales that dangers may lurk on the path. She gathers her courage, does her research, and scours the house for resources. But will all her preparations be enough?

So Careful is a hilarious and warm story that celebrates imagination, risk-taking, and resilience. The quirky, detailed artwork beautifully captures and extends the story.
