Hannah Has Sweaty Hands

A Story About a Twelve-Year-Old Girl Who Discovers Confidence and Courage Despite Her Excessively Sweaty Hands (Buy the book!)

What if something as simple as sweaty hands could make a child feel embarrassed, different, and alone?

For a child living with excessively sweaty hands, everyday moments—shaking hands, playing with friends, holding hands, or simply being noticed—can bring unexpected worry and self-consciousness. Parents may see the sweaty hands, but they may not always see the emotions, thoughts, and fears that come with them.

Children who experience excessively sweaty hands may recognize themselves in Hannah’s fears, thoughts, and emotions. Her story offers hope that it is possible to change old patterns, build healthy connections, and develop a more accepting relationship with family, friends, and oneself.

Parents of children with excessively sweaty hands may find Hannah’s story helpful for understanding what their child may be experiencing, feeling, or thinking. Reading this book together can open meaningful conversations and help a child feel less alone, less different, and more understood.

Hannah’s journey is also deeply rooted in her relationship with God. Christian faith, prayer, and Holy Scripture are woven throughout her story as she learns to trust God and discover a new way of seeing herself.
