Family Stories for Peace UCC | A Voice in the Storm

 


Our theme for this month is "Calm in the Storm."

The start of a new school year is a busy time filled with new relationships and requirements. Beginning these new routines can feel stormy—exciting, worrying, stressful, and busy all at once.

This week, we are reading A Voice in the Storm by Karl James Mountford. In this story, Rat feels stormy inside, which mirrors an actual storm she tries to navigate. While Rat initially tries to run and hide from her emotions, she discovers with the help of friends that talking about her feelings helps her feel better. She also learns that her friends care about her and worry when she is struggling.

Putting anxious, stormy feelings into words can be difficult. This book beautifully illustrates how challenging these emotions can be and how allowing friends to support us helps everyone.

This is a story for Children and Families at Peace UCC. This week we're reading "A Voice in the Storm" by Karl James Mountford.
