About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their toddler or preschooler is becoming aware of their own physical abilities, or when they need a gentle way to redirect behavior like hitting towards more positive actions. 'What Hands Can Do!' is a simple, vibrant concept book that uses clear photographs and rhyming text to showcase the many wonderful things hands are for: building, planting, painting, waving, and helping. It celebrates curiosity, creativity, and the growing self-confidence that comes from mastering new skills. This book is a wonderful tool for building vocabulary around action verbs and modeling gentle, constructive ways for a child to interact with their world.
