It's a Mitzvah! is truly heartwarming and precious--entertaining and fun without being preachy.A smiling yellow heart teaches that a mitzvah is steeped in Jewish tradition and is used for doing good deeds. It reminds people that good deeds bring "kindness, connection, and peace to the world." When you save an earthworm forom the hot sidewalk, its called takkun olam which means repairing Mitzvahos are important and if more people worldwide would embrace the idea, the world would heal. It takes good humans who are helpful, kind, giving and loving.
Each type of mitzvah is written in Hebrew and then translated below it. For example: "....give food to people who need it" and is considered "giving righteously, being fair, and thinking about ethics."
Highly recommended ages 3 and up. Excellent and sturdy book to teach children kindness and working to save their world. A first book of ethics!
