Description
A poignant board book series about the power and potential our bodies hold.

MY HANDS CAN is the first book in a series of three that showcase the body's amazing abilities--from the straightforward to the meaningful. This series will provide young readers with a deep understanding and appreciation of everything their hands can do, and invite them to look beyond what's known and obvious.

Written in a lyrical, affectionate tone, and illustrated in bright, warm colors, this book celebrates bodies everywhere and is sure to spark wonder, love, and respect for everything hands can do.
