Lucky Ruby

by Laura Lee Rittman


Lucky Ruby is about a little girl who is being raised interfaith. Her Dad is Jewish and her Mom is Christian. They love to celebrate BOTH Hanukkah and Christmas in their home! When Ruby decides to invite her classmate Violet over for her family holiday party, Violet thinks it's weird that they celebrate both faiths. After Violet gets to see how special the holidays are for Ruby, she begins to realize how lucky Ruby is.

A great read for children to understand and learn to respect on how all families celebrate their traditions but that the common thread is family and love. Great read for children ages 4-8.

The Reviews


This is a wonderfully warm and festive holiday story. It tells a tale through the eyes of a child that will capture its audience and educate at the same time.
-- Kelly Savage



Lucky Ruby is such a sweet book with a wonderful message. Acceptance and respect of others despite our differences is a wonderful teaching moment for our children.
-- Lisa Davis



I can't love this book enough. The focus on family and respect for different faiths is heartwarming and so needed in today's times. As a middle school teacher of 29 years, I give it five stars for sure.
-- Shelly Moon



Lucky Ruby is a heartwarming story of family and friendship. I wish it had been around when my children were little! Children from inter-faith families will delight in “seeing themselves” represented in the adorable Ruby and all children will love experiencing the magic of the holidays with these characters. Lucky Ruby will be a cherished addition to any classroom or child’s bookshelf.
