Being a sheep is easy. All they have to do is graze, snooze and help people fall asleep now and again. Every person is assigned their own personal flock… The drill is always the same, first Sheep one jumps over the fence, then Sheep two followed by Sheep three and so forth.
When a little boy called Mike can’t sleep one night, he starts to count his personal flock.. Sheep One, Sheep Two, Sheep Three… but then something strange happens… Sheep four doesn’t want to jump!
How will Mike be able to get to sleep now?
The allegory-based plot in first-person narration shows a sheep that does not want to comply with predetermined rules established without her input. Out-of-the-box thinking could lead to the solution that everyone seeks. An open ending will elicit curiosity and reflection from readers. The art is set in a mixture of spreads and single-page illustrations that highlight the main characters, utilizing a green pasture over a white background as a unifying element throughout. – School Library Journal
