Books like Hands Can
By Cheryl Willis Hudson
For the toddler who is constantly grabbing, patting, and testing what their hands can do, this book turns that everyday busyness into something worth celebrating. Bright, bouncy, and hands-on, with a gentle singsong rhythm.
An alphabet journey with superstar Lil Nas X and his pony Panini, riding from sunup to sundown through wide-open pastures, boots, guitars, and cowboy hats — one letter at a time.
A crew of astronauts blasts into orbit aboard a space shuttle, eating ready-to-eat food, floating in zero gravity, taking space walks, and fixing a satellite before returning to Earth.
A band of monkeys drums, hums, and dances through a bouncy rhyme, inviting little ones to find their own hands, fingers, and thumbs along the way.
A wacky crew of hippos, cats, pigs, and cows count from a quiet One all the way up to a LOUD LOUD LOUD Ten — then back down to quiet One again.
A celebration of sensory-seeking brains that buzz like bees, roar like lions, and move through the world in big, active ways — showing kids that this is something to celebrate, not hide.
An imaginative boy dreams up the ultimate house, sketching in a racetrack, a flying playroom, and a gigantic slide as his ideas grow wilder with every rhyme.
A curious kid heads outside to explore wind firsthand — feeling it push and pull, chasing hats, and figuring out why something you can't see is so easy to feel.
A little mouse spends a full day at preschool, from hanging her coat on her own peg through painting, snack time, stories, nap time, music, and outdoor play on the sandbox and slide.
