Illustrated by
Tammie Lyon.
After learning about the concept of tikkun olam (doing good deeds to repair the world), Rosie sets out to accomplish a list of "Save-the-World" tasks. But while aiding others, she ignores numerous help requests from her family. Rosie eventually learns that good deeds start at home. Rosie's enthusiasm comes across in cheerful, colorful illustrations that enhance a slightly drawn-out story.
