In this retelling of a 2,000-year-old story from the Talmud (Jewish book of law), Hanina Chipmunk knows it’s a mitzvah to help others . . . but how can she give food to a hungry friend without making her friend feel embarrassed? She tries to do her good deed in secret, under the cover of darkness. But Hanina will need her wits and bravery to complete her mitzvah. Endnotes unpack the original tale and the Jewish value of helping those in need (tzedakah).
