Little Lamb keeps wandering. The Shepherd keeps coming.
Every time Little Lamb decides he knows best, adventure turns to danger. Thorn bushes trap him on the rocky hillside. A mountain stream sweeps him off his feet. A glittering cave goes dark around him, and no one can hear him call. And every time, the same patient Shepherd seeks him out ? with a smile, a shake of his head, and the same quiet invitation: "Little Lamb, why do you go astray? Follow me."
Little Lamb and the Good Shepherd is a richly layered picture book that brings the love of Jesus to life for young children through a story they will ask to hear again and again ? and one that will mean something different every time they do.
What makes this book special:
Drawn directly from Psalm 23, John 10, and the Parable of the Lost Sheep in Luke 15, this is not simply an entertaining story. It is theologically grounded, with a structure that mirrors Scripture for deeper dives as your child grows. The repeated rhythms and vivid imagery make it ideal for reading aloud, and the gentle, patient Shepherd will help your child learn about who Jesus Christ the Good Shepherd.
A full Parents' Guide is included, with suggested Bible readings, age-appropriate discussion questions, and practical guidance for connecting the story to Scripture across a range of ages ? from toddlers hearing Psalm 23 for the first time to older children ready to wrestle with the deeper questions of grace and redemption.
Perfect for:
- Family read-alouds and bedtime routines
- Sunday school, children's ministry, and small group settings
- Any child who needs to know they are never too lost to be found
If your family loves books that open real conversations about faith, grace, and what it means to be truly known and truly loved, bring Little Lamb and the Good Shepherd home today.
