Description

Ruby and the Rubbish Bin tells the poignant story of Ruby, a little girl who despises herself so much that she feels more like a piece of rubbish than a child. At school, she is bullied by other children. Her misery often makes her want to sleep endlessly, never to wake again.

Everything changes when Ruby meets Dot, the lunchtime lady. With Dot's kindness and understanding, Ruby begins to feel something warm in her tummy. Over time, Dot helps Ruby transform from self-hate to self-respect. Dot's smile makes Ruby feel like a princess.

After experiencing a very important dream and receiving support from Dot, Ruby decides she has had enough. She finds her voice and her anger, stands up to the bullies, and begins making new friends. For the first time in her life, she experiences what it feels like to be happy.
