Reading Journal: Ruby Lu, Brave and true by Lenore Look, Illustrated by Anne WilsdorfRuby is a lovely, smart, cheerful, and brave girl, and above all, she really loves her baby brother. Her family is Chinese American, and she lives nearby her grandparents. In this story, there are two main events: Driving the real car by herself with her young brother in the backseat, and arguing and then making up with a California girl, Cristina. When I read the driving part, I was really shocked. I have seen on the news that a four year old boy drove his parents’ car to the video shop. I believe that many young children hope they can drive the car. The more they have driving experience through the computer game or toy, the more they could have confidence about driving. Thus, the parents and teachers need to let children know how different real driving is from a game and how real driving is dangerous.
This book shows various aspects of young girl’s daily life such as her family’s culture, relationship with sibling, friends, and parents, using different language, and so forth.
