About Ruby’s Reading Circle

On September 1, 2024, our daughter, Ruby, was born still at 32 weeks. One of our deepest regrets is not spending more time with her before saying goodbye. We created Ruby’s Reading Circle to encourage families to make a memory with their baby through a simple act that feels gentle and natural in a moment that is anything but.
