Fathers, grandmothers, and mothers, all neighbors, taking care of small children, directing them in life, holding their hands as they grow. The children learn by mistakes, growing as they discover the world, feeling with their hands, and experiencing life, a different situation for each family and small child. Each child has a different lifestyle with different challenges and experiences in different situations, but each child is supported, hands held by a loving family as they grow into adulthood, shaped by the experiences they had as a loved child with family and close neighbors.
Illustrations in Soon, Your Hands are simple, clean, and realistic. The characters are multicultural, multigenerational, and diverse. The detail in what the children see, feel and experience leads them into adulthood and future careers, supported by loving family and friends Family members hold the hands of their children through mistakes, learning, and stories as they grow and mature. A charming book, a lovely addition to an elementary school library, showing children they are in a storybook, despite disability, race, family situation, and other life situations.
