Description

Our hands play a vital role in our relationships with others: they touch, tickle and comfort, rock and applaud. The hands of someone you love are all-important, as this moving picture story by Astrid Verplancke and Maud Vanhauwaert so beautifully shows.

Yet those hands are not flawless. Sometimes they tremble, sometimes they let go, sometimes they search for support. This poetic story reveals how hands connect generations: from rocking a child to passing on recipes, from offering comfort in times of sorrow to the warmth of a hand resting on the table. It is an intimate and recognisable portrait of what remains, even when time and loss are inevitable.

A book to cherish and give.

Author

Astrid Verplancke studied illustration at KASK in Ghent and has since built an impressive portfolio. She is known for her poetic illustrations, which seem to draw you into a world of earthy tones and raw brushstrokes. In 2026, Astrid won the Nami Concours Grand Prix.

Maud Vanhauwaert holds a Master's degree in Language and Literature from the University of Antwerp and a Master's degree in Word Arts from the Antwerp Conservatory. In 2018–2019 she served as Antwerp's Poet Laureate. Her poetry collection and novel have received multiple awards.
