My Hands Tell a Story Written by Kelly Starling Lyons, Illustrated by Tonya Engel

ROCKETKIDS

“I look at my hands and wonder what stories will they tell? Where will they go? What will they learn,” ponders Zoe, a young African American girl.

In an afternoon spent baking bread with her Grandmother, Zoe traces her Grandmother’s past through the craigs and lines in her hands. They are hands, Zoe learns, that seem to have kneaded history itself.

By gaining an appreciation for the past, this endearing tale empowers Zoe to use her hands to craft the stories of the future.
