From the publisher

Ruby loves to fix things, rather than throwing them away. When a shiny new department store opens next door to Ruby’s Repair Café, everyone in town soon forgets about fixing things. Ruby becomes sadder and sadder, and the dump behind the town grows bigger and bigger. One night, a storm whips wildly through the town, tossing the trash everywhere and even blowing the roof off Mr. Bigg’s department store! But will Ruby be able to fix things and make the town a happy place? This book celebrates sustainability, community, and making small changes with a big impact.
