Uan the Little Lamb

by Sandra Klaassen

On a remote Scottish island, two children find an abandoned lamb and take her home. They name her Uan, "little lamb" in Gaelic. As Uan grows up, the children love playing with her, and they take her with them wherever they go. But what will happen when she becomes a full-grown sheep? In this charming story told through the eyes of two young children, Sandra Klaassen depicts the landscape of the Outer Hebrides in drawings that brim with life and her love of the land and the people.

Ever heard of taking in a stray? Well Uan the Little Lamb teaches us that in Scotland a stray could be a baby lamb abandoned by her mother. This is a story of love and family. Family comes in all different types. This book teaches to nurture and let things go that we love for their greater good and if they love us back they may just return.
