"Rosie learns in Hebrew class about Tikkun Olam, or repairing the world by doing good deeds, and sets off to do just that with impressive determination. However, she realizes...that in her grand efforts to help those in her community, she lost sight the needs of her family.... This sweetly conveyed and important message should have an impact on children and adults alike."
