We're all sheep. Except him.

A children's book about the courage to be different.

Look Inside the Book



I know your mama taught you how to stand and chew and bleat.

But even green pastures won't stay safe in the farms of the West.

Not with a hungry coyote on the loose.

One outlaw is free from the herd's fears of bad looks and bad actors. Nobody wants to deal with Blah Blah Black Sheep, not even coyotes. That's when the flock learns that the courage to defend the farm starts not with a bleat but with a blah.


He zigs when the flock zags.
He blahs when the flock bleats.
He howls at the moon when the flock sleeps.

But when danger comes lurking...
WHO WILL YOU BE?

 

Blah Blah Black Sheep is coming in Animated Glory!

Help make it a reality.

The Black Sheep Bundle


What's In The Bundle?
  • Hardback book
  • Premium Art Print (8.5 x 11) signed by Forrest Dickison
  • Fund the show to get your Black Sheep's name mentioned in the credits!
    (We'll reach out for a name after purchase).

Does your own black sheep stand out boldly from the flock? Whether your children struggle with an excess of boldness in a timid flock, or need that extra push to get out there and stand up to the wolves, Blah Blah will be right there with them.

Blah Blah Black Sheep's boldness and bravery aren't appreciated by his flock, but he still isn't afraid to take a stand for what's right and protect them.

Teach your child to stand out from a frightened crowd, and to stand up for those who don't have their rough and tumble spirit.

With story from N.D. Wilson and stunning illustrations from Forrest Dickison (both of Hello Ninja fame), your little sheep will want to climb right into the pages and bound and fly by Blah Blah's side.

Good/Rare Message

Amazing message for my boys to hear. Most books today are focused on girls, while Blah Blah let's boys be boys and doesn't encourage them to chop their genitals off. Really good artwork too.

Great for a trouble maker

Love this one, this reminds me a lot of my son and inspires others to be fun and authentic too.

Meh?

The advertising for this book played it up as if it was encouraging rough and tumble boys to be leaders and protect those around them. In reality it was a very thin version that concept set to the tune of bah bah black sheep lacking substance and direction.

Heartwarming & profound

I love the simplicity of this book; it’s quick, simple enough that my toddlers understand it, and yet it’s rich with wisdom! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a children’s book that teaches this nuanced but important lesson. It’s a great reminder for me, too — next time I’m frustrated when the Blah Blah of our family won’t “be a PROPER SHEEP,” I need to remember to thank God for the courage he’s given her. Thank you for this book!

Another hit by Forrest and N.D

Art work is gorgeous as usual with Dickison. It's a fun little book. If I wanted to nit-pick I would say the climax of the book is a little weak, but overall still love what N.D continues to bring to the table.

This book was a joyful rebuke… as a mother of a loud, courageous and, at times, boisterous son, it gave me pause and challenged me to consider that God gave my son the courage, passion, and energy he needs to be a leader and protector. Fabulous book! My sons and daughters also really loved it, they range from 6-12.
