Description
Welcome to the flock.
The flock has been the flock since the beginning of time. Or since 1986. Or since last Tuesday. Whichever came first.
The flock is always right and true. And true and right. Do not question the flock.
You are happy in the flock.
When a new sheep joins the flock, she realizes that home can be warm and safe and good.
But what happens when she decides to leave?
From newcomer Chren Byng and bestselling illustrator of The Terrible Plop and The Bum Book, Andrew Joyner, comes a hilariously subversive tale about bravery, independence, and that first bold step away from the crowd.
