Author Sue Barnard Ruthruff’s New Book, "If," is a Charming Tale That Explores What Would Happen if Certain Animals Were Experiencing Common Human Illnesses

Greenville, MI, October 30, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Sue Barnard Ruthruff, a retired school teacher who lives in Michigan with her husband, Tim, has completed her new book, “If”: a thought-provoking tale for young readers that explores what would occur if animals experienced similar illnesses and symptoms that humans often get.

“‘If’ is a playfully written book that ponders the outcome when certain animals and insects experience the same common ailments that sometimes plague humans,” writes Ruthruff. “What if a butterfly had the hiccups? How might it disrupt his day? What if an elephant had a sinus cold, or a dolphin got cramps while swimming? Find out as you explore the cause and effect of these what-if scenarios in this hilarious book. All the questions will be answered, except maybe the last one!”

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Sue Barnard Ruthruff’s new book is partly inspired by the author’s passion for children and love of the written word, which has led her on a journey to become a children’s book author. With colorful artwork and rhyming prose to help bring Ruthruff’s story to life, “If” is sure to delight readers of all ages, making it a hilarious new addition to any family library.

Readers can purchase “If” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon or Barnes and Noble.
