Synopsis: This picture book grew out of a relationship between the author and two orphan lambs raised initially inside his home. The early weeks required bottle feeding every three hours, day and night. As the relationship deepened, the flock of two built a lasting friendship in the fields, where the shepherd became a mother, and the lambs became two dear friends. This book is a celebration of the words of Anatole France.

Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened.

🎁 Recommended from 7 to 15 years old
