Sheepish (Wolf Under Cover)

Reach for this book when your child is navigating the tricky waters of finding where they belong or feeling like an 'outsider' trying to fit in with a new group. It is a perfect choice for kids who might feel they have to hide parts of themselves to be accepted, or for those learning that first impressions do not have to be permanent. The story follows a hungry wolf who dons a sheep costume to infiltrate a herd for a easy meal. However, as he participates in sheep aerobics and reads bedtime stories, his perspective shifts from predator to protector. Helen Yoon uses humor and visual irony to explore themes of empathy, redemption, and the transformative power of community. It is a lighthearted yet meaningful read for children ages 3 to 7 that celebrates the joy of finding family in unexpected places.
