Author Storytime with Danielle Joseph

Danielle Joseph joins us for an author storytime event to read her picture book, The Mitzvah Fairy. It's a story gently infused with kindness and compassion, about a young Jewish boy with a crown, wings, and a star wand who transforms into the Mitzvah Fairy. Following the reading, we will lead an activity and Danielle will sign books!

Tickets to this event are free, but we ask that all attendees register in advance as we have limited seating available.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
The Mitzvah Fairy wakes up early to spread joy. He fluffs his wings. Then he grabs his crown and wand. First stop: Bubbe and Zayde's house. Bubbe has the sniffles so the Mitzvah Fairy swoops in with chicken soup. "This will make you feel better, Bubbe," he says. Next, he zooms over to his neighbor's garden where he waters the plants and fills the birdfeeder. At the end of a busy day, the Mitzvah Fairy has one more thing to do―give his dad a great big hug. An author's note matches up the mitzvahs in the story with Jewish values.
