Hello Ellen. The title is THE VERY BEST PLACE FOR A PENNY. It’s a classic, quite dated (though I was surprised to just see that it was published in 1984; it looks like a book from the early 1960s!) and still a big hit with younger students aged K-5. It’s the story of a giant penny trying to find the “best place” where he fits in. Children find it pretty hilarious because of the illustrations, and it does get the tzedakah message across. Definitely a book to have in a Jewish library that reaches out to children, in or out of a religious school setting.
