Imagination & Exploration El fuertecito rojo (The Little Red Fort) Written by Brenda Maier & illustrated by Sonia Sánchez Ruby’s mind is always full of ideas. When she finds some old boards, she decides to build something and invites her brothers to help. They just laugh and tell Ruby that she doesn’t know how to build. She learns how—with some help from her parents and grandparents— and proves them wrong. Her brothers all want to play in the amazing fort that results from Ruby’s dedication. This modern spin on The Little Red Hen celebrates the ingenuity of young creators everywhere.
