Ruby's Wish by Shirin Yim Bridges

Ruby, a grand-daughter to a man who had 100 children becomes the first female student of a university after explaining to her grandfather that girls are treated unfair and that she should be entitled to get an education, just like the boys.

This is a touching story that shows great determination and persistence from such a young girl. It teaches Chinese culture and history. I found it surprising that the story is based off a true story. Inspiring for both girls and boys to reach their goals and to never give up.

Must read and multicultural/diverse book, as well!
