On Friday Afternoon
A Shabbat Celebration
A girl and her furry sidekick help prepare for Shabbat dinner—in their own way. While helping to clean the house, Leelee and her dog, Pickles, discover items they wish to donate; they empty a flower pot and dresser drawers for tzedakah, a mitzvah (or charitable act) involving donating to those in need. Their other efforts to celebrate the spirit of Shabbat end with similar counterintuitive results. In the end, everyone pitches in to make dinner a success in this upbeat picture book.
