"A sweet and compassionate introduction to an important Jewish custom." --Kirkus Reviews Sydney Taylor Notable Book Award. Sara watches from her apartment window as her mom goes towork. One day, she sees an old man pick up a bruised apple from the discardedpile next to Sol's Market. Why would he do that? She wonders if he'shungry, as she eats her own breakfast. She wonders if he's lonely, as sheshares Shabbat dinner with Mom and Grandma. As Hanukkah approaches, a season of light and hope, Saradiscovers that tzedakah can be as bright and colorful as a Hanukkahcookie with sprinkles.
