‘Ruby in the Ruins’ by Shirley Hughes

This is a classic picture book about family love, set in post-war London, from the much-loved and award-winning Shirley Hughes.

Ruby and Mum have lived through the terrifying London Blitz and are waiting for Dad to come home from the war. Ruby hardly recognises the tall man who steps off the train, but when she falls in the ruins nearby, there’s only one person who she wants to rescue her.
