Although a handbook and guidebook are often used interchangeably, a guidebook is part of the uses of a handbook. This material contains guides for work, school, etc. This is where people go to refresh their knowledge and ask for guidance. Communication Long answer: I want to cut directly to what makes me love this book so much: several adults in Trev's life, blood relation or not, make it clear to him that they are always there for him if he needs help. And in turn, Trev makes multiple attempts to go to the adults in his life to get help; when he doesn't receive the kind of help and advice he expects, he is hurt and becomes cold to certain authority figures, but the adults NEVER give up offering their help. In fact, a few of the adults come together to make sure they can meet Trev at his level to figure out how to best to make him feel safe.

After a boy's stepfather goes to prison for punching his wife, the boy decides he needs to learn to fight to defend himself. Fistfights are described in middle school yards, between groups of young men, and between adult men. There is an implication that a man died due to gang violence. A teen grabs his girlfriend by the wrist and won't release it when she says it hurts. This is a book for upper elementary students and big discussions. What do we choose to do with our hands? Trev is a 12 year old with a lot of promise. This word in its many usages keeps coming up as he struggles to decide what to do to protect his mother and two sisters. Rough neighborhood with physical violence chosen by some. It never turns out well for them. The dialogue is modern and street wise which makes the story more real. Trev thinks he is alone in his anger. In the end, I was left with hope that he really is not alone and others can help his situation. He can return to Art and drawing. In school, students are taught to become good individuals, hence why laws and policies are made for students to follow.

Matthew Winner features Torrey Maldonado on The Children’s Book Podcast on it’s very first episode of the 2023. Winner says, “Torrey, your books are unputdownable. You have a beautiful way of writing micro chapters and I love how you played with the idea that experiences or circumstances can propel us or grow us in ways we might not expect.” Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers! Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. Trev thinks a lot and has several conversations with all his Uncles (not blood but still family) about throwing hands and escaping the projects. He's told over and over again, even by his teacher, that he has promise, and is warned again and again that throwing hands will destroy his chances of escape. Join Poppy and her friends as they find all their favourite things to see. What will YOU see today?In his latest book, Head, Hand , Heart: The Struggle for Dignity and Status in the 21st Century, David Goodhart explores what he argues is the dark underside to this sociological revolution, via interviews, anecdotes and an impressive depth of research. Britain and America in particular, he suggests, suffer from a societal condition he describes as “Peak Head”, where cognitive achievement acts as a sorting mechanism in a supposed meritocracy. Along the way, we have devalued both technical, practical abilities (hand), and social and empathetic skills (heart), while alienating and demoralising the people who do the jobs that require them.

A deeply moving book about a young boy Trev who lives in the projects and witnesses his mother beaten by his stepfather. With his stepdad behind bars he must decided what he does with his hands. Does he learn to fight? Or does he continue to draw and do well in school? Hands, Torrey's latest middle grade book coming out in January, is his best one yet. It is one of the best books I have read in 2022, and I don't say that lightly, I read a lot of books. The story soon jumps forward to the last weeks of those two years. Now Trevor is twelve and he’s shot up to nearly six feet. What will happen when his stepfather is released? Jess shares why the big fight started. ‘They were arguing about you, Trev. Dad told Ma, “You raising him soft.” I know because I’d eavesdrop at their bedroom door when they argued. Dad barked, “I tried teaching him to box and he was all whiny. No. I don’t want to throw a punch. I don’t want to hurt anybody.”’ Jess eyes me now. ‘Did that really happen?’
