5. The Story of Ruby

and absolutely magical.”

7. “Hundreds of robots are happily baking. It smells like
candycanes, cinnamon, cookies, milk and jellybeans.”

9. “We do only one thing, but we do it really well. The sum of the
parts is bigger that way.”

10. “Come on little Ruby, there’s so little things I like as much as
partying with you.”

12. Every person has a magical book from
childhood that showed them the world is
beautiful and full of possibility. My book is
about Ruby.

partying with you.”
Like invisible friends, our favorite childhood stories and images
stay with us and serve as a benchmark for our taste
and perception years to come.

21. “And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole
world around you because the greatest secrets are
always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who
don't believe in magic will never find it.” - Roald Dahl
