About this title

About the Author

Carol Moore has had a love for children and animals all of her life. Ruby Kate is named for Carol's grandmothers, Ruby Strickland and Kate Hair. The families have been in Live Oak, Florida, since the 1850s. Ruby served two terms as mayor of Live Oak. She also served as delegate from Florida to the Democratic National Convention in 1936 and was vice-chair of the Florida delegation. Kate was a loving grandmother who wore purple, even her hats and shoes, and lived in a big old grandmother's house. Carol shared lots of tea parties with her grandmothers, Ruby and Kate. Carol received her B.S. Degree in Elementary Education from Florida State University. She taught second grade in Gainesville, Florida, while her husband Ed finished law school at the University of Florida. Carol and Ed live in Tallahassee and enjoy their three children, the children's spouses, and their seven grandchildren. Church, family, friends, music, gardening, and writing are Carol's favorite pastimes.

From the Inside Flap

Each of the six books in the series, I Wish You Ice Cream and Cake, is designed to educate and give the children a life lesson. Marvin The Magnificent Nubian Goat, Busy Bumble Bee Rides The Waves, and her newest book, Ruby Kate's Scrumptious Tea Cake Party are filled with family memories and wonderful life lessons, and each is beautifully illustrated by Michael Harrell. After being on the endangered species list, the Florida Black Bear has made a strong comeback in North Florida, especially in the Panhandle where Carol's family has a home on the Gulf of Mexico. As we learn to appreciate the Black Bear, remember not to feed them, to leave trash and garbage in protected areas, and never to approach a bear, particularly one with a cub. Have a wonderful Tea Party and make all your dear friends feel special and loved. Ruby Kate loves her friends and found a special way to honor them.
