«Ruby» is a children's picture book by Alison Lester, published by Éditions Françoise Deflandre in hardback (32 pages, in French).
Ruby is a girl whose patchwork quilt keeps her warm and safe. Every night, the blanket lifts her on a nocturnal flight to a remote island, where Ruby has an adventure that tests her courage. The story turns bedtime into an imaginative journey and conveys values of bravery and security.
The work was originally published in 1988; this French edition went on sale on 1 April 1993.
Suitable for children; it is a tale appropriate for reading aloud before bedtime.
