Ruby feels invisible. She stands apart, watching others laugh and play together, wishing someone would notice her. Then one day, something unexpected happens — a small, gentle friend appears. Slowly, Ruby learns that sometimes friendship arrives when you least expect it, and that everyone deserves to belong.

Written by Sofie Laguna (winner of the Prime Minister's Literary Award) and brought to life with stunning, atmospheric illustrations by Marc McBride (illustrator of Deltora Quest), A Friend for Ruby is a timeless picture book for children aged 3–7.
