"Handles" by David Parkins follows the life of a young boy named Thomas who discovers an extraordinary talent for creating intricate wooden toy handles. As he crafts these delightful objects, he finds himself increasingly drawn into the world of woodworking, which becomes both a creative outlet and a means of understanding his place in a complex family dynamic. Throughout his journey, Thomas confronts personal challenges, relationships, and the passage of time, all while learning the values of patience, craftsmanship, and the importance of connection. The story beautifully explores themes of growth, creativity, and the ties that bind us. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
