One More Story, Tata!

PreS-Gr 3–A joyous and heartwarming story featuring Ruby’s weekly visits with her great-grandmother. Every Friday, Ruby and her parents spend the day with Ruby’s grandparents, Yaya and Papa, and her tata who lives with them. Tata always tells the best stories based on dreams she has, like flying on the back of a blueberry bird. Ruby also enjoys looking at photos of her mom, Yaya, and Tata when they were little, where every photo looks as if it could be Ruby. On their walks together, Tata pushes her walker while Ruby’s mom pushes the stroller. Following a short nap for both Ruby and Tata, it is time for the Jewish Shabbat dinner, where they celebrate the lighting of candles and eating challah. Brightly colored illustrations bring this multigenerational family’s weekly tradition to life. End notes include a short explanation of Shabbat.
