Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good Sheep?

Why do bad things happen… even to good little sheep?

When one curious lamb takes a tumble, the whole flock begins to wonder: why do hard things happen in a world made by a Good Shepherd?

With tenderness and truth, Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good Sheep? invites children into the big questions of life — pain, loss, fear, and the mystery of suffering — through the eyes of a lovable flock and their ever-faithful Shepherd.

Written with warmth and beautifully illustrated, this gentle parable reminds young hearts that no matter the question, no matter the hurt…they are never alone.
