  3. It shows you that nothing comes easy. Like when she can't talks but she continues to triumph through. Also things are hard for her so that shows that nothing comes easy.

  4. I Think healing hands kept on repeating because she wouldn't believe she had healing hands because her brother wouldnt walk. When Davie walked to the barn she was crying because she would now more believe that she had healing hands. When she was born David would always be with Clara and told her she had healing hands.

  5. It shows up again and again is because, that's what she was known for in the real world. It's also what makes her unique and special. I think it shows up again and again, to remind people if there reading the story how she was known and she helped a lot of people, from maybe dying and I think that's a gift that is really rare and special.

  8. It shows up again and again because the author wants you to remember them and she wants you to know Clara's hands are special. Clara's hands are one of a kind and Patricia Palaco wants you to think that they are One of a kind. Clara used her healing hands a lot during the story to heal many different living things.

  9. The reason the book has the heeling hands over and over again is because it all led up to her heeling Davey. Also she helps the animals when they where hurt. Her hands were a big part of Clara doing what she loved.

  10. This is Ainsley.The reason it keeps coming back is because it changes the story. It's how she helps Davey heel, and how she figures out she loves nature. its also how she coped with problems like when Dolly yelled at her and she ran down and helped the puppy. That's also how the Red Cross was created.

  11. Healing hands is repeated because Clara's always helping and healing people and animals. She helped her brother heal his broken leg and helped the puppies. She started the Red Cross because she liked helping and healing.

  12. The author mentions "Healing Hands" a lot in the story because it is a special gift that no ordinary person gets. I have not met anybody with a special gift before in my entire life. If the author didn't include "Healing Hands" then the story wouldn't really have a point to it.
