Rebaño, El - Hardcover

by Chren Byng (Author), Andrew Joyner (Illustrator)

The flock has been 'the flock' since the beginning of time, or since last Tuesday - whichever came before. When a new sheep joins the flock, he realizes that this home can be welcoming, safe and well. But what happens if a new sheep decides to leave? This is a very funny and subversive tale about bravery, independence and that first bold step away from the pack.
