In a tiny Polish village, Gittel is asked to perform impossible tasks when her father boasts of her skills. She must embroider a matzo cover without a needle and create an Elijah's cup from a single silver coin. Though Gittel feels discouraged, her kind heart and good deeds are soon rewarded by the prophet Elijah. Full color.

"Lattimore, taking her cue from Chagall, creates scenes alight with the rhythms and colors of stained glass, where pink doves and green cats mingle with the floating figures and dancing houses of a snowbound shtetl."

Kirkus, 03/15/1996

"Deborah Nourse Lattimore contributes her magic to the Chagall-like illustrations she has painted to capture the spirit of a story that, though newly written, has the memorable eloquence of folklore."

Michael Cart, Los Angeles Times Book Review, 04/14/1996
