         A MITZVA FOR ZELDA

 

Colorful Jewish Children’s Book Looks at Friendship

 

In the new book A Mitzva for Zelda (Pitspopany Press, October 2008), children meet Zelda who has a knack for creating a perfect kippa (skullcap/ yarmulke) for even the hardest-to-fit heads. But when she grows old and loses her ability to knit, Zelda's friends bring her a special gift that's just perfect for her.
