Picture Book
Richa Ohri, Little Hands, Tokyo: Bungeisha 2015 Little Hands I can never forget the feeling I had when you held my finger so tight with your little hand as I cuddled you on the day you were born. With these little hands you will experience the world and create and fulfil new dreams. As you mature, a day will come when I have to let go of your little hand. But for me, no matter how old you are, your hands will always be ‘little hands.’
