What Will These Hands Make

This is Nikki's most ambitious and detailed book to date. 

This lyrical picture book follows a family through one day in an amazing small town — and muses on the possibilities that just one day can hold — from enjoying treats at the bakery, to admiring handmade goods from local artisan shops, to observing the new construction in town.

Illuminating themes of community, creativity, and collaboration, What Will These Hands Make? dares the reader to dream up everything they can be and all the ways they can leave their little corner of the world better than they found it.

Nikki McClure is a self-taught cut-paper artist and the author/illustrator of many books for children, including: To Market, To Market, Waiting for High Tide, and Mama, Is It Summer Yet? She lives in Olympia, Washington.

"This celebration of citizenry and craft is a poignant reminder of the objects and places that makers weave. . .The book’s appeal spans a wide range: younger readers will enjoy the seek-and-find aspect, and older readers may find inspiration in its vision of daily life and communal innovation."
