Review:

Think of the many things you can do with your hands that make up the person you are. Joe Barnett was talented with his hands in many ways, from throwing a curveball in baseball to playing the piano beautifully. However, because of the color of his skin, he faced many challenges and wasn’t allowed to do certain things with his hands, like knead the dough for a bread company. Discover how Joe stood up for himself and others like him in this true story, These Hands.
