**Thank you to NetGalley, author Sara O'Leary, and Penguin Random House Canada: Tundra Books for the eARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.**
This is a really cute story about adventure and inspiration. Ruby is a loveable character who loves exploring her ideas and creating adventures with her imagination.
This story seems like it will be really relatable to many young readers as they grow and determine what they want to do in the future. Ruby tells the reader about all of the careers she wants to explore, like architect, doctor, or astronaut.
The illustrations are a wonderful addition to the story, as well. They are bright, vibrant, and colorful, emphasizing the inspiration behind this story.
One issue with this story is that it seemed to be a little scattered and unorganized. As previously stated, I love the idea behind this but some points of the story did not feel like it was pieced together in the "correct" spot.
I am excited to see a final copy of this story, however.
