Publisher Description:

Ruby and Alfie are twins. Ruby and Alfie are mischievous, fun, creative, shiny and have hearts of gold - just like you

One Friday, they are more keen to go to school that usual because they are doing art to make a big surprise for Mummy.

When the twins return home, they are totally down-hearted. The cards they were so excited to create are exactly the same and they are miserable about it.

What happened to those enthusiastic, budding artists?

Can Dave the dog weave his unusual magic to save the day?

This book is intended to entertain and help adults encourage imagination and decision-making in their chidren.

Contributor Bio(s): Gibb, Hil: - Hil was born in Preston, Lancashire (Nick Park/Wallace and Grommit's part of the world), not quite "when God were a lad." Most mornings, you'll find Hil power walking & running her spaniels. Throughout her time on Earth, she has had an unfailing passion for, and delight in, people, creativity, the wonders of the learning mind & 'keeping shiny'. Story has always been Hil's natural means of connecting with others. She has always found the use of story and metaphor powerful tools for learning and quality communication. "Ruby, Alfie and the Mother's Day card" fermented in Hil's psyche over many years of teaching. Often, children have been guided to generate cloned artefacts to present to their grown-ups. This story, however, explores the individual artistic and imaginative flare that can emerge from youngsters when they are truly encouraged and supported to be their individual and shiny selves.
