Ruby Red Shoes Goes to Paris follows Kate's critically-acclaimed and bestselling debut, Ruby Red Shoes. Ruby and her grandmother Babushka are off to Paris for a holiday!

Together the two young hares zip around Paris on racy red scooters taking in all of the beautiful sights that Paris has to offer. It is the adventure of a lifetime, filled with memories that Ruby will treasure forever.
