Before Micah can go to the library, he has to put his coat and shoes on…but that job seems very large.

Narrator: Male

Story Begins: 4:10

One Step at a Time Excerpt:

As Micah ran a finger over the picture on the cover, he heard his mom’s voice from the kitchen: “Micah, time to put on your shoes and coat!” Micah looked toward the front door. His little shoes were waiting on the mat, and his coat was hanging on a hook nearby.

They were both right where he could see them, ready for him to put them on. Micah knew how to do these things. Now that he was getting older, he was learning to do more things by himself without his mom’s help. Sometimes that felt exciting. Today, it did not.
