"Lucie," week 3, saw three new families join those already registered. The theme for the night was "Coping" and we started off with one of my favorite stories, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Both children and parents enjoyed helping us repeat the refrain "Terrible, Horrible..." each time in both English and Spanish. I had written a song about the story, and had lots of help from audience percussionists, who played my bell tree, gourd rattles, sheep toenail shakers, etc.
Next, we read Magda's Tortilla's. Magda wants to learn to make tortillas, but finds it's harder than she thought. After the story we talked about coping when you have a bad day, or when something is difficult. One suggestion from the audience was to sing, so we did. You can see Magda "serving" her tortillas at left.
