This is a picture book about the need for cooperation. It is through mutual effort that many things can be accomplished. The metaphor that I use in the book is a pair of hands. The cover illustrates a pair of cupped hands gathering water from a pitcher. One hand can hold a little water, two hands a lot more. The title page shows two hands tying a shoe lace. Again, doing it with one hand would be extremely difficult. The story itself follows the journeys of right hand and his eventual return.
