About this listen

A curious girl discovers simple delight in her mother’s magic marker. But when her desire to visit the hospital on a school day throws the family into an unexpected emergency, will modern medicine come to the rescue, or must a mysterious spell be broken some other way?

Alice and the Magic Marker is a family-friendly short story and mystery that culminates on Christmas Day. It explores parent-child relationship themes like rules, responsibility, and routine. It also contemplates creativity, curiosity, growing up, and patience, as well as the inevitable temptation to break rules and sneak and cover up to avoid getting caught.

Most importantly, it invites us to consider our spiritual relationship with God through his redemptive providence. God leads us to our need for confession, forgiveness, and restoration in the family, not to mention maturity and the use of gifts for the good of others. And at the end of the day, can we find a place to appreciate God's sense of humor?
