About The Book

A delightful and humorous exploration of responsibility and integrity, seen through the charming lens of Jewish culture and values.

Ruby Finkelman Finds the Real Magic is a whimsical and heartwarming picture book that resonates with the universal theme of doing the right thing. Set in the picturesque village of Kvellville, where kindness and respect are the norms, we meet Ruby Finkelman - a spirited and strong-willed young girl.

Ruby's world is turned upside down when she decides to stop brushing her teeth. This seemingly small act sets off a chain of events, impacting the entire town. As Kvellville's harmony begins to unravel, Ruby confronts the consequences of her actions and realizes her power to make things right.

Filled with humor, warmth, and playful storytelling, Ruby Finkelman Finds the Real Magic is more than just an entertaining tale.
