About this book
Charlotte is a little sheep who doesn’t always follow the flock—and that’s a good thing when trouble wanders near. In this gentle, humorous picture book, Charlotte’s bravery is tested as she looks out for her friends and her shepherd. With cozy farm scenes, a touch of suspense, and a strong, can-do heroine, it’s perfect for read-alouds. Kids enjoy the lively art, animal characters, and the message that being bold and thinking for yourself can help others.
Setting: a rural sheep farm and hillside pastures
