Synopsis

Hands can do all kinds of things! A rhyming text with eye-catching color photos offers just the encouragement young children need to explore their world — hands on.

Hands can hold things.
Hands can mold things. 
Hands can catch
and hands can throw.

Hands can do much more, of course — wave hello and goodbye, play peekaboo, touch things, clap, even tie a shoe. For the very young, hands are a never-ending source of discovery and a means of mastery in an ever-unfolding world. With singsong rhythm, simple design, and alluring color photos of toddlers, Hands Can invites the littlest readers to discover the many things hands can do.

About this title

From the Author

Cheryl Willis Hudson says, "I was amazed by the versatility, dexterity, utility, and even the gracefulness of such small fingers. I began to see hands as marvelous works of art, and I wanted to somehow capture that vision in a children's book."

John-Francis Bourke says, "Photographing people provides me with a constant stream of new faces, new words, new conversation - it never gets old. Photographing children gives you all that, plus innocence and curiosity. Wonderful!"
