Sister Anne's Hands

A special teacher can have a great impact on a child. This is the story of Sister Anne, a black nun sent to teach second grade at Anna's scchool in the early 1960's. A mildly racist event occurs, which Sr. Anne turns into a teaching moment, and Anna's life is never quite the same. Written by Marybeth Lorbiecki, illustrated by K. Wendy Popp, this is a gentle story with a valuable message.
