A young boy passes a painting of a hand on a wall in his
neighbourhood and watches others placing their own hands against
it. The act means something different for each of them: Ms Iris
tells him it is a link to her home country; for Devin, it connects
him to his older sister, who just left for college; for Savannah,
it reminds her of her grandmother who passed away. The boy thinks
of those who are on the other side of the mural, of loved ones lost
or lonely or far away, and of his own mother, who is currently
incarcerated. While he waits for her to come home, the hand is
there to connect them to each other and remind them that they are
not alone. Monumental, moving and hopeful, Place Hand Here is a
masterful work that honours the way art and love are bridges
between us.
Dad wakes early every morning before the sun, heading off to work
at the bakery. He kneads, rolls and bakes, and as the sun rises and
the world starts its day, Dad heads home to his young daughter.
Together they play, read, garden and-most importantly-they bake.
This lovely, resonant picture book was inspired by muralist Katie
Yamasaki's work with formerly incarcerated people. With subtle,
uncluttered storytelling amplified by her monumental and heartfelt
paintings, she has created a powerful story of love, of family and
of reclaiming a life with joy.
11th Street: it wasn't pretty, but it was home. Naomi spends her
afternoons scooting down the streets and drawing with chalk on the
pavement with her best friend Ada, getting a slice of pizza and
visiting her neighbour Mr Ray at his car shop and dreaming of
fantastic worlds within her own. But her beloved neighbourhood is
changing. Trees are chopped down, flashy new buildings spring up
and one by one Naomi's neighbours are forced to move away. Faced
with the rapid transformation of her once-familiar city, Naomi
turns to painting murals to preserve her favourite 11th Street
memories. When something we love goes away we paint it on the wall
so it's always with us, Mr Ray tells her and Naomi discovers that
no matter how her world changes, as long as she has places and
people to love, she will always have a home.
