Exuberant paintings bring a sense of playfulness, suspense, and fun to New York City in the 1930s and to Zeesie's first package party--a lively feast of food, song, and dance held to raise funds to friends, family, and immigrants in the Jewish community. Defying orders, Zeesie sneaks into the "money room"--a place where the men anonymously leave or take money according to need--and is inspired to leave her own birthday dollar. Full color.

"...this book is a real success. Rael keeps her prose tight and full of details and humor; Zeesie admirably struggle to do right and learns from her mistakes."

Kirkus, 10/01/1996

"The unmistakable lesson--that it is as blessed to receive as to give--may not be news to youngsters, but it's joyously conveyed by Priceman's zany, dreamlike figures cavorting across bright orange backdrops or tense and needy against somber gray."

Elizabeth Bush, Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, December 1996
