This modern and whimsical Jewish-themed board book series is the first of its kind to incorporate both Jewish traditions and Jewish culture, offering a truly representative and current depiction of Judaism. It's a Mitzvah! introduces readers to everyday good deeds, inspiring readers to bring kindness, connection, and peace to the world. Author and artist Suzy Ultman melds her own Jewish upbringing with her current trendsetting aesthetic to create a much-needed series of gorgeous, appealing, and perfectly simple books that will stand out on any table or shelf amidst the sea of blue and gold painterly Jewish-themed books that precede these.
