About this book

A lamb's attachment to a Shetland pony gives Minnie a reason to look more closely at the animals around her. Nannie, a South Down lamb, settles beside Star in the stable and protests when they are separated. Minnie brings her pet milk and bread, watches the two animals together, and asks her mother what sheep can do. Anne, who grew up in a shepherd's family, adds memories of tending sheep and raising lambs by hand.

Madeline Leslie combines this family story with accounts of animal behavior. Mr. Lee tells Minnie about sheep that stay beside an injured companion, guide a blind member of the flock, or seek help for a trapped lamb. These conversations place kindness and careful observation at the center of the book.
