I received a complimentary copy from the publisher and all opinions  expressed are mine.

This was a hilarious and it made me happy .It’s set on a Friday afternoon and it involves cleaning the house and collecting donations.It mostly follows Leelee and her dog, Pickles .It was funny ,inspiring and well written-it is a reminder to be kind ,helpful and the importance of family

Mischievous yet respectful good deeds. Fluffy portrayal of the traditional Jewish Shabbat. Celebrates in various different ways with fun and faith. Shows and does not tell. Delightful illustrations that are full of rambunctious energy. Humour is mixed into the layers of routine. Builds up to satisfying resolutions that are reminiscent of real-life. Summons chaos and gratitude. Recommended for those seeking an easygoing introduction to religion.

What a lovely little book that features an interesting story while teaching children about diversity. Not only could this be a great book to include in a Jewish child library but it would be a great addition to any child's library. The story itself is lovely and captivating enough for all small children and it has interesting enough illustrations. 
It would offer non-Jewish children a glimpse into a Jewish tradition and with the informational author's note at the end, it would surely teach both the child and potential adult reading with them something new.
