Monster Hands

10/31/2024

The fear of a monster lurking underneath your bed! This is a very familiar concept, but this time, it is presented and illustrated very uniquely and differently!

Title: Monster Hands

Author: Karen Kane, Jonaz McMillan

Illustrator: Dion MBD

Publisher: Nancy Paulsen Books

Milo reads a scary story before bedtime and now he suspects that a monster is lurking underneath his bed. He is concerned and is unable to go to sleep! Fortunately, he has his best friend Mel's house nearby. They communicate using sign language through their bedroom windows! Mel helps Milo by suggesting different ways through which he can get rid of the monster. Mel encourages and instills courage in Milo that helps him get rid the (imaginary) monster under his bed.

Best friends in this story communicate using the American Sign Language (they're not deaf, still!) - and yes, this type of communication can definitely sometimes be more effective than worded conversations!

📚 A simple yet magical story of amazing communication and supportive friendship

📚 Expressive and unique illustrations especially the hand shadows.

📚 Recommended for kids ages 3+
