In "My Hands Tell a Story" by Kelly Starling Lyons, a young girl reflects on her family's rich heritage and the stories woven through their hands. As she observes the work and artistry of the elders in her life—from cooking and crafting to storytelling—she begins to understand the significance of her own hands. Each gesture, task, and creation reveals a connection to her culture and history. Through vibrant illustrations and lyrical prose, the story celebrates the power of legacy and creativity, encouraging readers to embrace their own stories while honoring those who came before them.
