Now in English and Spanish! Our bilingual books for children include all of the children’s text along with a section for parents, teachers, and caregivers in both languages.

It’s never too soon for children to learn that violence is never okay, hands can do many good things, and everyone is capable of positive, loving actions. Hands are for helping, learning, playing, and much more. Created in response to requests from parents, preschool teachers, and childcare providers, this bright, inviting, durable board book features simple words and full-color illustrations that teach these important concepts in ways even very young children can understand.

Recommended for anyone in a caring relationship with a young child; perfect for childcare and preschool. Made to be read aloud, Hands Are Not for Hitting/Las manos no son para pegar, one of our many bilingual books for children, also includes a special section for adults, with ideas for things to talk about and activities to do together. 

For preschool and primary-age children, see the bilingual Hands/Las manos paperback edition for kids ages 4-7.
