Roller-Coaster Grandma: The Amazing Story of Dr. Ruth
by Westheimer, Ruth K. , Simmons, Mark , Lehu, Pierre
Paperback - English

"The art is wonderful, and the language is entertaining and captivating." - Association of Jewish Libraries

This graphic novel for ages 8-12 depicts the ups and downs of Dr. Ruth's life from her escape from the Nazis at age 10 aboard a Kindertransport, to her training as a sniper with the Hagganah in Israel, through her immigration to the US where she started as a maid, became a college professor, and eventually a television star. Using a trip to an amusement park with her grandchildren as its framework, the story subtly demonstrates lessons of grit, resilience, and strength that readers can apply to their own lives.
