Barista Turned Author: Ruth Drabkin Launches Grocery Store Book Tour Across Southern California and Arizona.
Los Angeles, California, United States, 20th Dec 2025 -- Former barista turned children's and adult fiction author Ruth Drabkin is bringing her books back to where it all began -- the grocery store. The Los Angeles-based writer will kick off her Grocery Store Book Tour at the Ralphs on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, where she once worked as a barista, before visiting other Ralphs locations throughout Southern California and Fry's stores in Phoenix, Arizona.
Drabkin's tour celebrates her popular picture books -- Go Ruthie Goes to the Grocery Store, Go Ruthie Goes to London, Freddy the Red Beddy, and Max's Diner -- with live story times, author meet-and-greets, and book signings right in the aisles.
"It feels full circle," says Drabkin. "I used to serve coffee here -- now I get to share stories with families in the same space. Grocery stores are where community happens every day, and I wanted to make reading part of that magic."
Each stop on the tour will feature: Interactive story time sessions for children, book signings and photo opportunities with the author, and free bookmarks and produce stickers.
Drabkin's Go Ruthie Goes to the Grocery Store has become a favorite among parents and educators for its fun take on everyday learning, while her other titles continue to blend humor, heart, and adventure in relatable ways for young readers.
The Ralphs Book Tour will continue through the holiday season, offering a family-friendly outing that celebrates reading, imagination, and community -- right between the produce and bakery aisles.
