This book shares life's journey in a beautiful way that makes it easy and enjoyable for young children to follow along. I found myself connecting with each page as I reflected on my own life. As an educator, I appreciate the gentle, kid-friendly approach this book takes to help children understand life changes. -Michelle Sunner, Educator and Autism Consultant A story of a life's journey, this book brings to light the changes throughout our path. Capturing the everlasting love of family and the journey to become oneself, (this is) a wonderful tribute to those we leave to carry our legacy. -Jamie Siela, Hospice Counselor These Hands offers a unique way to show the pure love a grandparent has for their grandchildren, as well as celebrating the life of a grandparent. It captures the beauty of a full life that is only made more fulfilling by becoming a grandparent. The wisdom is shared to nurture the love in a way that the child will feel as she travels on the journey of her own life and the beauty she creates with her own hands. -Angela Wesselink, Social Worker and Parent Advocate These Hands is a beautiful portrayal of how time and change are reflected by life experiences. The story revolves around the love of a grandparent throughout different phases of life, depicted with bold and artistic illustrations. The author connects her stories through the eyes of various animals, each representing a different theme and offering a sense of time travel to help children understand the stories of the past. The book helps children understand that change can be okay and allows us to learn life lessons. Just like how animals can provide unconditional love, so can Grandma's hands through her heartfelt stories. Sometimes, we can look to the past for answers to help us feel a sense of connection. These Hands is a great resource for kids to understand and appreciate the significance of their family's stories. -Janelle Mitchell, MS, Certified Child Life Specialist
