A picture book from award-winning storytellers, author Carter Higgins and illustrator Isabelle Arsenault, A Story Is to Share is the extraordinarily told, one-of-a-kind story of legendary author and children's book icon Ruth Krauss.

Born
a baby
late at night
there's no parade
just crashing rain

She listens listens
writes and draws
stitches pages
sews a book
She finds another way
to tell a tale
