Just Right for Zack

By Margo Mae and Abby Larkins

(Based on a true story)

This story happened in the USA.

Zack likes to run, jump, and play. Zack also has sensory processing disorder.

For Zack, that means he doesn’t like loud noises. And he likes to do the same things every day.

Every afternoon he plays with the same toy airplane.

Every night he reads the same bedtime story.

And every Sunday he sits in the same chair during Primary.

One day at church, all the kids practiced for the Primary program in the chapel. This was very different!

Zack doesn’t like it when things are different.

Mom had him stand in the front row so he had room to wiggle.

His friend stood next to him to help him feel better.

His teacher gave him headphones to make everything quieter. But Zack was still upset.

Then the music director and the Primary president had an idea.

Zack’s special job was just right for him! He was happy to feel Heavenly Father’s love.
