Bookroo's summary

In a world where Horse, Mouse, and Pig seek what they lack, a black sheep seems to have nothing to offer. Yet, when her friends question her, they discover she has crafted unique gifts from her own wool. This tale of generosity unfolds in vibrant illustrations, revealing the true value of sharing and creativity. What surprises await as new characters join the frolic?

From the publisher

This charming story told in lyrical verse will inspire young readers to share the best of themselves. An industrious black sheep has wool aplenty, but little else for her friends. Horse needs hay, Mouse needs cheese, and Pig needs slop, but the poor black sheep has none of these. When her dissatisfied friends confront Sheep about her inability to share, they find that their lovely friend has knitted a special gift for each of them with her very own wool. Clever illustrations reveal delightful surprises as endearing new characters frolic from page to page in bold, generous color.
