RUBY’ S WISH

Book ID/图书代码： 03080113B61790

English Summary/英文概要： 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. 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 strives for more and a family who rewards her hard work and courage.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在旧中国，绝大多数女孩子们或许都期盼着能早日结婚，但鲁比却和她们不一样，她决定自己要像家里的男孩子们一样，长大以后去读大学。《鲁比的心愿》是一个灵感源自作者祖母亲身经历的真实故事，书中还附有大量详细的配图。这一故事生动地刻画了一个努力追求的年轻女孩的形象，以及她的家庭对其勤奋和勇气的肯定与回报。（DC）
