A Charlotte Zolotow book

I'm not sure where or when we collected this book, but I'm glad we did.

It's one of those wonderful "little" books that imparts an important lesson without hammering you over the head. No great drams, just some too easily forgotten truth.

How can we be "good"? By simply giving of ourselves.

Is this meant to be a book for adults or for children? It really doesn't matter -- its a lesson that we need to learn and relearn all our lives ( )

This finalist for the 1993 Jewish Book Award tells of an old man and woman in a little Eastern European village who are given some surprising advice from a wise rabbi. They have worked hard, raised a family, and given generously to the poor, but they come to realize what is missing from their lives--and where their riches really life. ( )
