The book Ruby's Wish by Shirin Yim Bridges shares a story of a girl growing up in China. The pictures are beautiful done and the story is well written. This story could be shared from 2nd-5th grade.

There are many different extension activities that you could incorporate with this book.

1. Students could write their own autobiography since the story discusses her life
2. Students could write a poem since Ruby shares a poem she wrote in the story
3. Students could write about a celebration from their culture because Ruby talks about Chinese New Year
4. Students could write about family traditions and relationships
