I’m thrilled to be teaching Tell Me the Stories of Jesus! It’s one I haven’t had a chance to do with the kids yet since my time as a Primary music leader. I also think it’s just about the perfect song for this year’s theme of learning from the Savior. This song is a reminder to us parents that we have a super important role of teaching these children about Jesus — and they are often eager to learn!
