Ruthie loves Superman.
Ruthie wants to be Superman.


And when Ruthie is asked to go spend the afternoon with her aunt, who is about to have a baby any day day now and may need some help., Ruthie seizes the opportunity. It could be her chance to be a hero, should the baby come while she's visiting! But when Ruthie is out fetching a snack for her aunt, she gets so distracted by a box full of kittens in the bodega that she doesn't hear her aunt calling for her, nor does she notice the policemen running to the apartment or the ambulance pulling to the curb. When she realizes what's happened, she's devastated -- she's missed her one chance to be a hero! Or has she?

Sonia Manzano, best known as "Maria" on Sesame Street, once again captures the warmth, love, and adventures of her childhood Bronx neighborhood.

Daniel ★★★★★

I've been counting down to November since I placed this pre-order, and the wait felt completely worth it once the package finally arrived. Opening it to find the author's actual signature on the title page gave me chills. This is going straight to the keeper shelf in my collection.

Ryan Q. ★★★★★

The pre-order process was smooth and the wait felt worth it once my signed copy finally arrived after the November 1st event. The signature itself is crisp and the book feels like a real keepsake, not just something tossed in a box. I'm glad I locked in my order early since these clearly sell out fa

Honestly, I've never been this excited about a delivery date — the wait until early November feels like forever, but knowing my signed copies are guaranteed because I pre-ordered makes it totally worth it. The whole "while supplies last" warning had me clicking checkout the second I saw it.
