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.
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.

My kids love singing blah blah black sheep 😂
It IS abrupt at “ just be a normal sheep”. I think that’s the point though. It stands out and gives you pause.
It’s a great reminder to consider how God had made our children and not to be a fussy auntie sheep type.
We love reading good books to our kids. Thanks for making this one
It was okay. I expected better from Nate. If there's any level of sibling rivalry to stoke, you guys should know that Cranky Danky Dragon takes a much higher standing in our household.
Dickenson's illustrations are on point.
The paper is nice and thick, it will survive longer than other picture books. The art is so pretty, and the story is sweet. Exited for the show!

I bought the book as my nephew's Christmas present and almost kept it. The art is wonderful and it seems like there's more to find each time. The story is perfect for a young boy or even adults looking for a fun story.
My 2 year old son reaches for this book multiple times a day. The illustrations are great and the story is enjoyable enough that I don’t mind reading it over and over. We have had great fun making extra sound effects and doing re-enactments when we aren’t reading. It’s a keeper!
