His Hands Touched You First

Book Cover & Preview Text
Dancing, snapping hands. Rhythms of clapping hands.
In quiet times; our hands give comfort, wiping away tears, lending a hand up. Gently rocking those we love. Picking flowers of gladness.
'X' marks the spot with a dot-dot on the back of a friend.
Hand holding in joy whilst our heart skips a beat.
We shoot hoops, tinkle the ivories, row the boat, feel for fever, write in our diary, braid hair, color and draw, build with our blocks, create shadow puppets. All with our miraculous hands.
"Tag you're it! siblings play, "Touched You Last".
At the shore we collect seashells, design sand castles; our hands digging damp, secret passageways.
