Hands wave hello, hands hold, hands heal. Hands say, "I am here for you always". In simple, stirring rhymes, author Tony Johnston captures the reassurance and love that parents offer their children every day. The Loving Hands book is a timeless ode to parenthood. The small moments and quiet scenes that make up childhood—learning to clap, planting a garden, waving good-bye on the first day of school—fill the pages of this gentle tale.

Warm illustrations by Amy June Bates show a young boy reaching for his mother's hand as he grows older and more independent until, perhaps, he can be the one to offer love and support with hands that say, "I am here for you always." A touching look at the passage of time and the power of connection, this children's book would make a heartfelt gift for loved ones of any age and all milestones in life, especially on Mother's Day.
