AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Sophie wants to get her Grandpop a gift for his birthday; he asked for Sophie to change the world by doing kind deeds, a mitzvah. Sophie doesn’t know how to change the world, but she is determined to try. Sophie does many kinds deeds the week before Grandpop’s birthday, but she is worried she did not change the world. When she describes her mitzvahs to her grandpa, she learns differently.
A perfect read to show young children how they can do mitzvahs on their own. Wallace details the simple acts that Sophie did and how much those kind acts help others. Lewis’ illustrations are colorful, engaging and are plant based, showing how gardening and growing flowers can help change the world. A must have for elementary school libraries to emphasize kindness in the simplest ways.
