Here’s Our Book Review

Lucky Ruby:A Hanukkah and Christmas Holiday Book is a heartwarming holiday tale that seamlessly blends the magic of Hanukkah and Christmas through the eyes of a young girl named Ruby. Author Laura Lee Rittman weaves a touching narrative that highlights the importance of celebrating diversity and embracing different traditions. Ruby is faced with a dilemma when her friend Violet calls her celebration of both Hanukkah and Christmas “weird.” With the support of her family, Ruby learns to love her unique celebrations and share them proudly.

Throughout the book, readers are invited into Ruby’s warm and festive world as she makes latkes with her Bubbie, decorates the Christmas tree with her parents, and laughs with her cousins during holiday games. The story not only focuses on the dual traditions Ruby celebrates but also highlights the importance of inclusion, kindness, and understanding. Violet’s initial discomfort evolves into curiosity and excitement, reminding readers of the value in learning about new traditions and customs.

One of the standout elements of “Lucky Ruby” is the beautiful, detailed illustrations by Cennet Kapkac. Kapkac’s artwork perfectly captures the warmth and charm of the holidays, from the crackling fireplace and twinkling snowflakes to the cheerful moments shared among family. The rich colors and festive imagery truly bring Ruby’s world to life, enhancing the magic of the story. The illustrations complement the narrative beautifully, drawing readers into the holiday spirit and highlighting the joyful connection between Ruby and her family.

What makes this book even more delightful is the interactive touch with Bubbie’s latke recipe included at the end. Families can enjoy making latkes together, adding a hands-on element to the story that enhances the holiday experience.

Laura Lee Rittman’s writing is engaging and accessible, making it ideal for young readers. Ruby’s journey of self-acceptance and sharing her traditions with others is a story that will resonate with children and families alike. The themes of friendship, inclusion, and embracing one’s unique traditions are particularly timely and impactful, making “Lucky Ruby” a perfect addition to any holiday reading list.
