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.
