After hearing the story, the child is gently guided into the scene to meet Jesus and prayerfully speak to him as one friend speaks to another.

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day is a story about a boy named Alexander who one day wakes up to find gum in his hair. That’s just the beginning of a very bad day in which everything goes wrong for him. As children listen to the story, they are asked to think about what it would be like to be in his place and how it might feel to be one of his friends or family members.
