My Generation books
Two books. One author. Stories that stay with you.
Children's picture books by Jesse Heller, for children and the adults who read alongside them.
Ruby is a hummingbird who cannot hum. Her brother and sister fill the garden with their beautiful song, but no matter how hard Ruby tries, her wings stay silent. Heartbroken, she sets off alone across the sea, from the Florida Keys to the remote island of Little Inagua, searching for her voice.
What she finds there changes everything.
Ruby's Waves is a vivid, gorgeously illustrated adventure about courage, grief, and the love hidden deep in your heart. A picture book for children ages 4 and up, and for anyone who has ever lost someone they love.

Ruby’s Waves
by Jesse Heller
A child and their mother talk in the soft warmth of a shower, steam rising, the world outside quiet. When the child asks about seeds growing into flowers, the conversation opens into something bigger: generations, history, love, loss, and the question every child eventually asks — who am I, and what will my time on earth mean?
My Generation by Jesse Heller is a bedtime picture book about the conversation every parent hopes to have. Tender, funny, and quietly profound, it moves from Baby Boomers dancing barefoot and landing astronauts on the moon, to a child dreaming up their own generation: The Trees, living high in the sky with monkeys and lizards all around.
A picture book for children ages 3 and up, and for any parent who has ever tucked in a child and felt the full weight of how much they love them.
