Ruby Red Shoes

Let Ruby welcome you into her world as she tells you all the wonderful things about her grandmother.

What's wonderful about my grandmother is she wears x-ray spectacles.

She can see deep inside me and knows just what I'm feeling.

Ruby Red Shoes is an aware hare who lives in a colourful caravan with her grandmother, Babushka Galina Galushka.

Ruby loves her grandmother very much and thinks she is wonderful for all sorts of very special reasons.
