Afternoon stories: All of a Kind Family Downtown, St John Vianney, Story of the World.

Good discussions of St John Vianney and Story of the World. 

In All of a Kind Family Ella wants to audition for the part of Queen Esther in the Purim play, but the director refuses and says he’s got a part that only she can play, the jester. She’s perfect for the part. And she really is and has fun with it, once she gets over the heartbreak of not getting to be the beautiful queen. And at the end of the chapter, Sophie thoughtfully says, I think God is like that. We ask him for a part and he’s got a part in mind for us that is not at all what we expected. But it’s even better.

Bedtime story: Brian Wildsmith’s Easter and Jan Brett’s Hedgie’s Surprise.
