Ruby Tobey

Kansas artist Ruby Tobey expresses her faith by writing poems (scribbles) and making drawings (sketches) of scenes around her. While their three children were growing up the Tobey family traveled many miles in an old school bus camper. Their outdoor adventures gave Ruby time to make many sketches. Some of them she used in publishing a yearly calendar. Now many of them are included in this book and a previous volume of Scribbles and Sketches.
