"One Hand, Two Hands"

This book by Max Lucado is a phenomenal children's book! The story is very well written in a manner for children but won't bore the parents reading it to those children. Teaching kids that their hands and the things they use their hands for are simply tools that God can use to reach others. I really appreciate the simple rhyming style which is great for my daughter who is in kindergarten, this is a great "first book" and I love that it is Christian! Max Lucado weaves together the joy and importance of serving others and gives kids a down to earth look at just how they can help others with their own two hands. In the back of the book there are a couple of pages that are great discussion starters with your children and different ways they can reach out to others in every day life, i.e. draw a card for someone sick or clap for someone else.  Overall this was a wonderful addition to my kids bedtime book collection and one we will read often!
