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.

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.

Customer Reviews
This book is comical and great for kids of all ages!! Highly recommend!!
We love this book! Such a cute story to teach children it’s great to be different. Our little one dances to the beat of his own drum and we want him to learn that it is ok when all of that energy is used for the glory of God. This book teaches how our differences are all vital in serving others!
My kids (2, 4 & 7) all love this book!! Highly recommend!
I have a little boy who is not dissimilar to the Blah Blah Black Sheep, and it warmed my heart to read this book (to myself and to him!). God has placed such good gifts in and on His children and sometimes they don’t look that way to us if the packaging is wild and intense. I trust God will use my little sheep’s life to His glory even (especially?!) in the times that have me wondering what is going on in this little one’s head 😉
I like this book, and gave it to a family in Church who have 2 young boys. We always need good literature for children. It reminded me that I need to order some more copies of Hello Ninja.
We have the original version and it was perfect for the 2-3 year old years…this new updated extended version is so fun. We all love it! The words are already memorized and the pictures offer so much exploration and imagination.
Grandsons loved it!
