Parent Guide
Although Dr. Ruth is a household name, many people don’t know about her incredible life outside her radio show. (This book for young readers does not address that aspect of her career in any detail.) Using the frame of a grandmother taking her children to an amusement park, Dr. Ruth shares her story in this engaging autobiographical graphic novel. Readers will learn about how she survived World War II, lived on a kibbutz and served in the military in Palestine, fought for an education, immigrated to America, and eventually became a world-famous therapist.

Great book!
This book is especially great for people who love graphic novels, people who love nonfiction World War Two stories and for people that like Autobiographies. This book is about a grandma named Dr. Ruth who takes two of her grandchildren to an amusement park. While on different rides the kids ask questions and talk about things that their grandma could relate to in stories from when she was a kid. Dr. Ruth is very inspiring because in her life she has faced so many challenges and yet is here today to tell the story of her success. When you read this story your emotions go around like a rollercoaster.
