One Hand, Two Hands by Max Lucado, Illustrated by Gaby Hansen

This children ‘s book is all about the ways we can use our hands and ultimately how God can use our hands. I feel the book would be appropriate for toddlers learning to use their hands for a variety of tasks as well as for children with basic reading skills. The story features a little girl but would also be appropriate for little boys.

The whimsical illustrations show various examples of how to use our hands. Hands are described as helping, kind, and loving and the story not only addresses how we use hands for ourselves but also how we can use our hands for God’s service. I would recommend this book for parents of young children that want a way to teach children a practical application of service to God.
