My Hands

A wonderous exploration of all the amazing things we can do with our hands ­– perfectly pitched for the youngest of readers.

With accessible graphic illustrations, artist/designer Néjib takes us on a tour of the many things we can do with our hands and how we use them to express ourselves with a range of emotions. From saying hello to waving goodbye; from walking the dog to catching a ball; from sowing seeds or playing the piano to juggling balls or picking one's nose; this delightful book is a celebration of what our hands are for and how essential they are throughout the day. Splashes of bright color add excitement and interest to the high-contrast black-and-white art. Children will appreciate the light touches of humor too, as they develop a new appreciation for hands and explore all the verbs and phrases presented on each page. The smaller trim size is just right for little hands to explore on their own or with an adult at their side.

My Hands can also be used as part of the early years’ science and language arts curricula with school age children.
