A short version of the story to read aloud before colouring, with questions to ask afterwards.
Nehemiah worked for the king in Persia. He heard that Jerusalem’s walls were broken, and he felt sad. The king noticed and asked what was wrong.
Nehemiah prayed to God and then asked the king for permission to go to Jerusalem and rebuild the walls. The king agreed and gave him what he needed for the journey.
Nehemiah trusted God and made a careful request. He was ready to help the people in Jerusalem repair their city.
