Registration is required. Click here to reserve your place!\n\nImagine the world you want to live in. If it's not the world you see\, will you create it?\n\n\n\nSo begins a young girl's journey to solve a problem she notices one rainy day while walking to school. In that moment\, the small spark inside her grows and connects her to others who are inspired to help the world become a better place. This lyrical and personal text from beloved author Ruth Spiro\, with breathtaking and imaginative illustrations from Victoria Tentler-Krylov\, explores the Jewish concept of tikkun olam\, or taking part to repair the world. It's sure to inspire readers to nurture their own small spark\, taking action today that will change the world tomorrow.\n\n \n\nIn a starred review\, Publishers Weekly says that illustrator "Tentler-Krylov . . . an exuberant\, choreographic chronicler of city life\, fills digitally enhanced watercolor spreads with bright colors and a host of energized\, roll-up-their-sleeves characters . . .." and adds\, "Spiro . . . vividly evokes [tikkun olam]'s galvanizing power throughout."\n\n \n\nRuth Spiro is the author of the popular Baby Loves Science series and the Made by Maxine series.
