Gentle Hands: A Book About Using Our Hands Kindly

Previously published as "Gentle Hands" by Marina Tenger. In this book, toddlers will learn to use their hands in gentle and kind ways. With a positive tone, the book redirects children from behaviours like hitting, grabbing, scratching or throwing to kinder ways of interacting with others, like hugs, sharing, and gentle touch. This beautiful book uses photography and realistic imagery, paired with bright colours and simple words that are sure to keep the child's attention. "Gentle Hands" is an ideal early learning resource for families who practice gentle parenting, as well as the Montessori method. See also "Les mains douces" (in French), "Las manos tiernas" (in Spanish) and "Нежные руки" (in Russian) by Polina Buchan. Polina Buchan is a Canadian children's writer, professor and parent. She mainly writes books for curious toddlers. Polina is passionate about showcasing inclusive language and diversity in her work. Polina's books use simple, direct language, and often display realistic imagery or photographs to engage the child. As a parent who aims to apply Gentle Parenting and the Montessori method with her own child, Polina reflects those principles in her books as well.
