by Dawn Wynne, Gloria Pineiro (Illustrator)

Overview

HONORABLE MENTION AWARD FROM READERS' FAVORITE. A young girl named Abbey feels sad and lonely after moving to a new home. On the first night of Hanukkah, she spots a moose outside her window which seems intrigued with the lonesome child. When an antler of the moose's rack becomes illuminated by the light of the moon, Abbey feels a connection and she looks for the animal nightly. As the moose appears and the meaning of Hanukkah is understood, Abbey believes in the possibility of her new life. She begins a journey to help others. When she gives, she receives in return and understands that transitions give opportunity for new and rewarding experiences. Children of all faiths and religions will connect with Abbey and her stuffed animal Moosey. Parents will love the value it places on doing good deeds, especially during the holidays. Whether you celebrate Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanza, the message is universal: true joy comes from giving.

Editorial Reviews

The Miracle Mitzvah Moose by Dawn Wynne is a beautifully written story about a young girl named Abbey who feels out of place and out of sorts after moving to a new home. Gloria Pineiro has beautifully illustrated The Miracle Mitzvah Moose so that children will remained enthralled as the words are read to them. I liked the simple way that Wynne told her story. The story itself is filled with meaning for children of any religion and one which will stay with them for years to come.
