Every Scoop of Light by Ilene Cooper, illustrated by Omer Hoffman

Every Scoop of Light by Ilene Cooper, illustrated by Omer Hoffmann, is an inspiring and beautifully illustrated picture book (ages 4–8) that explores the concept of tikkun olam—the idea of "repairing the world." In this universal creation story, God gifts humanity with virtues like kindness, wisdom, laughter, and peace, but the gifts are held in fragile vessels that shatter and scatter across the earth. It's then up to people from diverse cultures to gather the fragments and bring healing through compassion, charity, and cooperation .

Featuring vibrant, multicultural artwork and lyrical storytelling, Every Scoop of Light beautifully demonstrates that every small act matters—and together, our "scoops" of light help mend the world.
