In Your Hands

By Carole Boston Weatherford

Book Overview

A black mother expresses the many hopes and dreams she has for her child in this powerful picture book masterpiece by ALSC Children's Literature Legacy Award-winning author Carole Boston Weatherford that's perfect for gift-giving.

When you are a newborn,
I hold your hand and study your face.
I cradle you as you drift to sleep.
But I know that I will not always
hold your hand;
not the older you get.
Then, I will hold you in my heart
And hope that God holds you in his hands.
