Heller, Linda and Stacey Dressen McQueen How Dalia Put a Big Yellow Comforter Inside a Tiny Blue Box and Other Wonders of Tzedakah 32 p. Tricycle Press, 2011. $16.99.Dalia saves money inside a small box, called a tzedakah box, in order to help buy gifts for those less fortunate. She then passes on this lesson to her younger brother. A note at the end explains the Jewish tradition of tzedakah boxes. The bright, cheerful illustrations go nicely with the story, and both Dalia's willingness to share with others and her relationship with her brother are heartwarming. Ideal for religious or multicultural collections, or discussions about community involvement and character building.
