My Father's Hands, Hardcover

A father makes a green and growing place and finds among the shadows of bushes and flowers hidden treasures. Cupping them in his earth-stained hands, he calls his daughter to come and share his discovery. Each time, she finds a garden creature to marvel over and remember: a delicate pink circle of worm, a beetle in shining gold armor, or a leaf-green mantis who boldly balances upon her own steady and caring fingers. With graceful, loving words and vibrant art, Joanne Ryder and Mark Graham portray a special father who shares what he values most--all the beauty and wonder of the natural world.
