READ MORE: Many children in Mexico City live in big apartment buildings. But the coronavirus keeps kids indoors. Percibald Garcia thinks that is sad. He says kids need to imagine things, not look at phones and tablets. He brings a microphone and some books each Saturday. He stands in the grass and reads. Grownups and kids come to the windows. They love hearing the stories. Psalm 119:105 tells us that God’s word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our paths. What Bible stories do you like to hear?
