Which Gate?
Meet Joshua , a happy-go-lucky sheep who would give the wool off his back to anyone he considered a friend. But being loyal and kind to a fault sometimes corroborates the perfect recipe for mistreatment. Thankfully, Joshua's thick skin and wit always prevailed. However, in the end, nearly everyone learns a wise lesson or two. Particularly, how to recognize a true friend and that you often reap what you sow. Children and parents alike will grow to appreciate the many subtle messages that will encourage good behavior without being preached to. "Which Gate" is merely a bird's-eye view of a particular sheep who simply wants acceptance.
Readers will take a peek into the life of Joshua, who albeit is very popular, he sticks out like a fish on a leash. Not really because of his looks (although that is different too) but mainly because of his unorthodox personality.
If everyone else is going left, Joshua will be the one rolling to the right. But he accepts nearly everyone, along with their flaws. Even though they're unaware they have any, so all hooves are usually pointed solely at him. Since Joshua rarely speaks of them, his kindness is sometimes taken for weakness.
However, this happy sheep is stronger and more astute than many of his farm friends possibly realized. Thus, he ultimately finds favor from someone who is truly equally yoked.

Enjoyable and educational for both children and adults.
As an adult, I identified real life situations which happen more often than we would want to admit. Sticking to the idea of what goes around comes around, the story stresses that we should try to see beyond our prejudices when it comes to dealing with the people around us. Plus, we ought to not take advantage of the ones who help us out of kindness without a secret agenda. It’s a good educational material, if used properly.
The illustrations are nicely drawn, too. The last one is a great questions starter.
