In this lyrical and empowering tribute to Latine laborers, one child realizes how her Papi's love and labor make their community, home, and future stronger, and illustrates her vow to do the same--perfect for fans of Someone Builds the Dream and My Papi Has a Motorcycle.

My Papi's hands are bigger than mine...That's because they build cities piece by piece, dia tras dia.

Because of my Papi's hands, I know what my hands can do. And together, our hands will build a brighter future, piece by piece, dia tras dia.

With lyrical text and striking wood block illustrations, this heartwarming ode to parental love uses the metaphor of a father's labor to illustrate how manos poderosas can teach little hands how to create change within their community.
