Base on a true story about a class of second graders whose letter writing campaign got all the animals in their local shelter adopted

Ruby has a big idea for her class’ letter writing project: They’ll use their letters to help find forever homes for the animals at the local rescue!

But will anyone really listen to a bunch of kids? Getting twenty-three dogs and one cat adopted won’t be easy, but the first step in making a difference is trying.

From the creators of Two Bobbies comes a new inspirational picture book perfect for animal lovers, inspired by the true story of a class of second graders who cleared out their local shelter with a letter writing campaign, proving kids can make change.
