Soon, Your Hands

Each child’s hand fits into that of their grown-ups. But soon, they will grow, learn, make mistakes, feel, and tell stories, says this softly uplifting book. Three different families are featured: one with a mom and dad, one with a mother and (presumed) grandmother, and one with two dads. The scenes of family life that unfold—going to the beach, adopting a kitten, preparing a parent’s birthday cake—are warm and sweet, as we read this simple but affirming message about growth and love.

The two-dad family is a family of color, with one dad and the child reading as Black; the second dad has lighter skin and could be read as a variety of identities. The mom-dad family have light brown skin; the mother-grandmother family has lighter skin, and could be read as Asian or White.
