Llama Llama Red Pajama by Anna Dewdney

Baby Llama lies in bed, longing for help from his mother. He calls; he cries; he pouts; and when he becomes afraid she might never come, his mini-tantrum brings Mama Llama running.

How these stories are connected: Fear and panic get the best of Baby Llama as he waits for his mama. The disciples too fall prey to fear and panic as their boat on the sea begins to fill with water. Who calms us when we are most upset? What does our upset tell us about the extent of our faith?
