Little Cloud Lamb (Light (Cuento de Luz))

Description

Winner at the 2011 Living Now Book Awards. A touching and sensitive story for all ages about accepting differences and dealing with the loss of a loved one. On a spring night, under the light of the full moon, a little lamb was born. Molly, her mother, decided to call him Lambkin. Lambkin was a very special sheep, and as time passed, it became more apparent that he was nothing like the other lambs. While his friends were dressed with white, long wool, the little one was covered with a small, fluffy cloud. Lambkin was a white cloud, sometimes cloudy, sometimes even a stormy one! Without a doubt, Lambkin was a very special sheep, and that was why it was more difficult for him to relate to others. He wasn't cut out for jumping fences and helping children fall asleep―what he liked the most was being in nature. But like the clouds, Lambkin soon realized that his place was in the sky. Review: A beautiful story - This book is very well written with wonderful illustrations. It is very touching. it might go over the head of a young child but it will be a book they can grow into. I gave this for a baptism gift and will give it again. Review: Strange. Sad. Depressing. Not recommended. - Depressing and ... odd (to put it kindly). The vocabulary is far too difficult for young children (age 4-5). Ends really strangely. Drawings are decent.
