*More Hands* is written by Jenny Mollendyk Divleli and recommended for readers ages four and up. It tells the story of a big family and community coming together with warmth and barakah, centered on Sami and his grandfather as they discover the secret ingredient of pishmaniyah.

What makes it worth sharing with a child is its quiet focus on togetherness — the way a household and its many hands can gather around something as simple as a sweet. It reads less like a lesson than an invitation to notice how much warmth moves through the ordinary act of making and sharing food with family.

This edition is published by Ketebe. For a parent looking for something gentle to read aloud, one that lingers on family and the small rituals that hold a community together, *More Hands* is a fitting companion for story time.
