Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This is a book about bupkes: nothing, zero, zilch. Sometimes, though, what looks like nothing turns out to be the most important thing of all. An empty garden seems like nothing―bupkes! But it means that Zoe and her mom have taken a big basket of fresh veggies to their neighbor. An empty bench at the playground seems like nothing--bupkes! But Zoe has made a new friend and now no one needs to sit on the bench. An empty soup bowl seems like nothing―bupkes! But Zoe takes chicken soup to her sick mom and, after eating it, her mom feels better. The funny thing is that bupkes may mean nothing, but it can feel like everything.
"The word "bupkes" is Yiddish, a language that was once spoken by the Jews of Eastern Europe and elsewhere around the world. Some people still speak Yiddish today."
"This is a book about bupkes: nothing, zero, zilch. An empty garden, an empty bench at the playground, an empty soup bowl all seem like nothing - bupkes! The funny thing is that bupkes may mean nothing - but it can feel like everything" -- Provided by publisher.
