The Mitzvah Fairy

  • Interest Level: Preschool - Grade 3
  • Reading Level: Grade 2

The Mitzvah Fairy wakes up early to spread joy. He fluffs his wings. Then he grabs his crown and wand. First stop: Bubbe and Zayde’s house. Bubbe has the sniffles so the Mitzvah Fairy swoops in with chicken soup. “This will make you feel better, Bubbe,” he says. Next, he zooms over to his neighbor’s garden where he waters the plants and fills the birdfeeder. At the end of a busy day, the Mitzvah Fairy has one more thing to do―give his dad a great big hug. An author’s note matches up the mitzvahs in the story with Jewish values.
