Stunningly evocative illustrations and a beautifully simple story

[Emily · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sweet story of a little boy wanting to be a shepherd just like his daddy. The illustrations tell more of a story than the text as they show James watching his father and then imitating him to the best of his ability by feeding, "shearing" and washing his stuffed lamb. The relationship between this father and son is touching!
