It’s a Mitzvah!

It’s a Mitzvah! (by Julie Merberg, illustrated by Beck Feiner) offers toddlers a warm, playful entry into Jewish values and simple acts of kindness. With rhyming text and vibrant, child-friendly illustrations, each spread names a mitzvah (good deed) like telling the truth, helping the hungry, or repairing the world, making abstract values concrete and engaging.

Why We Love It

• Age range: Designed for toddlers and preschoolers (1–3 years)

• Key play value: Encourages language, empathy, and early moral reasoning through real-world examples

• Parent appeal: A gentle, non-preachy foundation for Jewish values — useful for homes, gifts, or baby dedications
