Illustrated by
Stacey Dressen McQueen.
Dalia teaches her little brother, Yossi, about tzedakah, the Jewish custom of collecting money or otherwise supporting those in need. While tagging along on some special errands, Yossi realizes the satisfaction in helping others. Heller's text effectively gets across the idea of tzedakah without spelling things out too much. McQueen's rich-hued acrylic and oil pastel illustrations radiate warmth.
