"""A singular picture book for curious kids who appreciate layers of meaning and reflection in their stories—and just the right amount of silliness"" –  Starred review in School Library Journal."

"""A singular picture book for curious kids who appreciate layers of meaning and reflection in their stories—and just the right amount of silliness"" –  Starred review in School Library Journal. The allegory-based plot in first-person narration shows a sheep that does not want to comply with predetermined rules established without her input. Out-of-the-box thinking could lead to the solution that everyone seeks. An open ending will elicit curiosity and reflection from readers. The art is set in a mixture of spreads and single-page illustrations that highlight the main characters, utilizing a green pasture over a white background as a unifying element throughout. – School Library Journal New York Public Library: Los mejores libros para pequeños 2023."
