36. The Last Pair of Shoes

Publisher: Merkos L'Inyonei Chinuch, Author: Sashi Fridman, Illustrated by: Seva

During the war, hunger and starvation were part of everyday life. In this magnificently illustrated story, Shalva, a young boy whose father was taken into the army, works hard to feed his own family and comes up with an ingenious idea to help an even poorer family in need.

Young children learn a valuable lesson that one is never too poor, or too young, to help others in need.
