Sister Anne's Hands (Picture Puffins)

"An African American nun challenges the beliefs of her second-grade students in this thought-provoking picture book set in the 1960s."--Publishers Weekly

Sister Anneâ€™s hands are brown, and Annaâ€™s hands are white.
Â
Itâ€™s the early 1960s, and Anna has never seen a person with dark skin before. At first she is afraid of her new second-grade teacher. But Anna quickly finds that thereâ€™s no reason to be scared. Sister Anne is wonderful. She likes jokes and she makes math and reading fun. But then someone sails a paper airplane to her, with a cruel message written on its wings. Sister Anneâ€™s wise way of turning a painful incident into a powerful learning experience has a profound impact on Anna and her classmates. This moving, timeless tale is perfectly illustrated with luminous, glowing paintings.
Â
â€œWith humor and understanding, Lorbiecki writes about a young girlâ€™s coming to terms with racial differences and about the pain that ignorance can cause.â€â€”The Horn Book
