A Story Is to Share: How Ruth Krauss Found Another Way to Tell a Tale

A Story Is to Share is a beautiful picture-book biography celebrating the life and imagination of beloved children’s author Ruth Krauss, told by Carter Higgins and illustrated by Isabelle Arsenault.

Through spare, poetic text, we follow Krauss from childhood into her life as a writer and artist. She listens, observes, writes, draws, stitches, and finds her own way to tell stories. Along the way, children get a glimpse into the creative mind behind beloved books like The Carrot Seed, A Hole Is to Dig, and A Very Special House.

Carter Higgins’s playful, imaginative words echo the spirit of Krauss’s own writing, while Isabelle Arsenault’s expressive illustrations bring her world to life with a wonderful sense of curiosity and childlike wonder.
