Open Hands in the Touch Tank
a book of the creatures that can be held
William Vincent Carleton
In the cool water of the touch tank, a sea star settles into Lúmine's open palms while Líam leans close to watch it move. Father doesn't hurry them. A book about how to meet small living things: hands that receive, then let go. Good to read before a first visit to a touch tank.
