A simple but empowering poem about creating a world, told from a young child's perspective.
When a little girl moves her hand, she changes the world as she discovers it. As she moves her known world she discovers her own power and creates everything anew.
The poem, written by Argentine poet Jorge Luján, comes from a culture saturated with magic in which even the very young can make the world by reaching out and moving it. Mandana Sadat's imaginative illustrations deepen and enrich the text. Movi la mano / I Moved My Hand is a special contribution to the world of children's books for the very young (and the not so young).
