(3) K-3 Illustrated by Victoria Tentler-Krylov. This picture book encapsulates the Jewish philosophy of tikkun olam—the idea of repairing the world. Through gentle, poetic language and an author’s note, it encourages collective responsibility and the power of small acts of kindness. The vibrant, digitally enhanced watercolor illustrations, with their dynamic splatter art and recurring motif of a multicolored flock of birds, follow a young girl as she rallies her community to restore a city park. A thoughtful, empowering call to action.
