The Stories From My Grandmother's Hands

In The Stories From My Grandmother’s Hands, children (ages 3 to 8) and caregivers will experience the beauty of the connection between generations. This beautifully illustrated book features different pigmentations, gender breadth and ableness within the Black diaspora. 

As children and their caregivers read The Stories From My Grandmother’s Hands, they will learn to value the gifts of their caregivers and grandmothers, and how they teach them to recognize energies in their own bodies, through cultural somatic practices. It is an interactive experience to be shared between generations. By reading these simple practices together, children learn that they and their people are not defective, and that things happened to their people before they got here. The Stories From My Grandmother's Hands is a toy box to help children create joy and manage the energetics of white-body supremacy.
