One Wise Sheep is a creative and unique retelling of the Christmas story, from the perspective of one wise sheep! Which also has an undercurrent message to young readers on being nicer to each other, listening to each other and forgiving quarrels.
Tonight, the sheep can’t sleep. The pasture is floodlit by a strange new star, and their shepherds have disappeared. Rumour has it that they have gone to visit a child, who has been born in a stable.
