Reaches the head, heart, and hand.

This book was shared with me in one of my children literature college classes. I fell in love with the book! It is great for all ages. This book touches the heart and teaches children (and adults) how to care and love for others in an unselfish way. It teaches all to actively engage in serving our fellow man with out any thought of personal reward. It also encourages people to reach out to others and better the lives of those around us. This book is essential in teaching morals. It is a must in every home and classroom. Please reprint it!!!!

Wonderful compelling story of genuine friendship.

This is a simple story of the friendship between three men and the gifts of kindness and thoughtfulness. The illustrations are outstanding. While the concept is not unique it is told in a manner which can be appreiciated by all ages. It is my most favorite children's story. Unfortunately I lost my signed copy.

A WONDERFUL STORY ABOUT THE TRUE MEANING OF FRIENDSHIP!!!

I highly recommend this book!! I read this story to my sixth grade class. They absolutely loved it. The story brings tears to your eyes. A must read for all ages!

It doesn't take magic, just a pair of caring hands.

Magical Hands is a wonderful story of a man who loves his friends. To show his friends how much he cares, he makes a birthday wish come true for each friend. He finds through this experience that giving is better than receiving...although receiving feels pretty good too! A great story to teach children that with very simple acts, they can affect others lives for the better.
