These Hands

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Floyd Cooper. Grandfather demonstrates the things his hands can do (e.g., play piano, perform card tricks) then relates for his grandson what they were forbidden from doing while working at the segregated Wonder Bread factory: namely, touch the bread dough. Cooper's oil-wash illustrations in sepia tones reflect gentleness, strength, warmth, and history. An appended author's note tells more about the story's true events.
Reviewer: Henrietta M. Smith
