It's Friday and little Ruby gets to spend the day with her great-grandma, Tata. Together, they go for a walk with Ruby's grandma, Yaya. They take a nap. They read books. The whole family gathers for Shabbat dinner and Ruby gets to eat a delicious piece of challah bread. Best of all, throughout the day, Tata tells Ruby funny, fantastical stories that come from her dreams, in which she soars on a giant blueberry bird, or dances right on top of the dinner table. In this heartwarming tale that spans four generations of Jewish women, acclaimed author-illustrator duo Julie Salamon and Jill Weber celebrate family traditions, the enduring love between a girl and her great-grandma and the everlasting power of stories.

"The real love between generations shines through in the text and is expressed in fun, thoughtful illustrations. I loved the way the family's Jewish practices feel naturally integrated into this story of Tata and Ruby." --Belmont Books
"At the heart of this story is the wisdom and love of grandparents, (for this story, specifically grandmothers) and how everyone in the family has an important role even if that role has changed over time..... wonderful for any family to learn how to include the whole family together, no matter how old or young. A great book to celebrate family and Grandparents’ Day." - Barbara's Bookstore
