One Hand, Two Hands

In his classic style, Lucado gives us another treasure. This time he has written a book for children. Just like his other books, this one has a message about how to serve others.

One Hand, Two Hands is filled with catchy, rhyming phrases. The print is large and colorful. My five year-old granddaughter and 3 year-old grandson enjoyed listening to the story. They also enjoyed reading along and picking out the rhymes. The story is just the right length for little children.
T
he book’s illustrations are delightful and colorful. They show a little girl and her animal friends in every day situations using their hands. My grandchildren could relate to those. The illustrations add to the upbeat flavor of the book.

As a parent and grandparent, I am very pleased with Lucado’s work for little ones. It is fun to read and can spark a discussion on how we can each use our hands for service, both young and old. At the end of the book Lucado lists simple way hands can be used to help others. As a teacher of Sunday School for young children I can see where I could use this book to reinforce the message of service for others too.

I recommend this book for preschool-kindergarten age children.

Please note that Thomas Nelson Publishing has provided me a complimentary copy of this book for my review; however, the opinions are my own. I have not been required to publish a positive review.
