An uplifting picture book about the Indian custom of namaste, meaning 'I bow to you,' and how children can contribute to their community - by a National Book Award nominee.
What’s between your hands
when you namaste the world?
Maya is only three days into summer vacation and already bored. Outside her window, the street is full of neighbours. Coming and going. Earning and spending. Fixing and mending. Everyone has something to do - everyone’s hands are busy.
Except Maya’s. When she opens her palms, they are empty. They are small.
What in the world can her hands do?
In this encouraging, reassuring picture book, National Book Award Nominee Mitali Perkins shows how little hands are capable of big things. As Maya longs to do something useful alongside her neighbours - proclaim truth, stand for justice, or show mercy - she discovers that children can give the greatest gift of all: love.
