(top) I'll Hold Your Hand written by Maggie C. Rudd. (bottom) Mary Cassatt, Mother and Child, ca 1890. Oil on canvas, 35 1/2 x 25 3/8 in.

This sweet picture book celebrates a parent’s love and support of a child through life’s milestones, from learning to walk to the first day of school and all the highs and lows in between.

With lyrical text from Maggie C. Rudd and stunning art by Elisa Chavarri, I’ll Hold Your Hand celebrates the unbreakable bond of family, and all the ways our actions can say “I love you” louder than words.

Young learners and their caregivers are invited to join Storytime in the galleries on the first Friday of each month.

Extend your visit by exploring PLAY – the interactive space for families–afterward.

Children must be accompanied by an adult. FREE. No reservation required.
