Ruby’s WIsh

Based upon the inspirational story of the author's grandmother and accompanied by richly detailed illustrations, Ruby's Wish is an engaging portrait of a young girl who's full of ambition and the family who rewards her hard work and courage.

Ruby is unlike most little girls in old China. Instead of aspiring to get married, Ruby is determined to attend university when she grows up, just like the boys in her family.

“This understated tale takes Ruby’s predicament seriously while still celebrating her love of learning and her joyful personality.” - Publishers Weekly, starred review
