Ruthie loves Superman. Ruthie wants to be Superman. And when Ruthie is asked to go spend the afternoon with her
aunt, who is about to have a baby any day day now and may
need some help., Ruthie seizes the opportunity. It could be
her chance to be a hero, should the baby come while she's
visiting! But when Ruthie is out fetching a snack for her
aunt, she gets so distracted by a box full of kittens in the
bodega that she doesn't hear her aunt calling for her, nor
does she notice the policemen running to the apartment or
the ambulance pulling to the curb. When she realizes what's
happened, she's devastated -- she's missed her one chance to
be a hero! Or has she? Sonia Manzano, best known as "Maria" on Sesame Street, once
again captures the warmth, love, and adventures of her
childhood Bronx neighborhood.
