In the still of winter, one boy learns that the greatest gifts are the ones given in secret.
One snowy morning, Daniel wakes up to the sound of footsteps crunching in the snow and spots his father disappearing into the night carrying a mysterious box. When he asks where his dad went, everyone simply says, “Out and about.”
The next day, both Mom and Dad sneak out again with boxes in hand, leaving Daniel more curious than ever. With his imagination buzzing and his heart full of wonder, Daniel soon discovers the beautiful truth: his family has been delivering gifts anonymously to help others in need.
Rooted in the Jewish value of tzedakah—righteous giving—Out and About gently introduces young readers to the joy of helping others without expecting thanks or recognition. Inspired by the author’s true family story, this warm winter tale celebrates generosity, compassion, and the quiet power of doing good.
