Little Ewe - by Laura Sassi (Hardcover)

About the Book

Illustrations and simple, rhyming text follow Little Ewe as she ignores Shepherd while chasing three lizards, splashing with six frogs, and more in a tale inspired by the Parable of the Lost Sheep.

Book Synopsis

Little Ewe would rather jump on logs and investigate spider webs than follow the shepherd when he calls. But what happens when she gets lost? How will she find her way home? Told in whimsical rhyme, this humorous counting book for our littlest ones is a delightful reminder that, like a loving parent, our Shepherd will find us and care for us, even when we wander from the path.

In Little Ewe: The Story of One Lost Sheep, award-winning author Laura Sassi and illustrator Tommy Doyle tell an endearing tale of a distracted sheep and her persistent shepherd, inspired by the Parable of the Lost Sheep in Luke 15.
