Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-A little girl stains her new white dress when she helps an elderly man carry a large bag of charcoal home before the sun sets for the weekly Sabbath celebration. The moon rewards the good deed by turning the black spot into beads of light. The story is accompanied by primitively sketched drawings done in soft primary colors that picture a child who is too young to do the deed or be out alone, but the fey quality of the illustrations and simple but effective text reinforce the mood of a fairy tale. This story, originally written in 1937 but newly translated and illustrated, is a welcome addition.

Ages 4^-7. Originally published in 1937, this simple story, with new illustrations and translation, still has considerable charm. Hanna adores the white dress her mother has made her for the Sabbath and tries her best not to get it dirty. However, she doesn't hesitate to lend a hand when she sees an old man struggling with a heavy load. She ruins her dress but is rewarded for selflessness by a sympathetic moon, who turns the stains on the dress into glittering points of light. Little ones may not fully grasp the fantastic elements in the story's outcome, but they will understand the emotional content conveyed so well through the expressionistic artwork. By combining sweeping strokes and flat plains of deep color, Eitan manages to make the pictures at once childlike and sophisticated. Stephanie Zvirin
