Henry is happy to run an errand for his mom but begins to feel uneasy when the sky grows dark and the wind begins to blow. When he hears a clomp, a shuffle, and a boom, he begins to feel afraid!

Be strong and brave. Do not be afraid. Do not lose hope.
I am the Lord your God. I will be with you wherever you go."
