Follow along with Wooly, a little lamb with big fears, as he goes on an adventure and finds a chance to be brave. Based on Bible passages of the angels appearing to the shepherds and the shepherds visit to the nativity, this story allows children and adults alike to go deeper into Bible history and scripture. Enjoy scripture as it comes to life, imagine historical Bethlehem, and pay special attention to lambs, angels, shepherds, and the Holy Family and their roles in the story and history.
What Makes This Special
It’s a Bible story for the family! Though this book is brand new, it tells an ancient story that explores scripture in a new way, where young and old can enjoy a special time together of learning and fun. It’s a hands-on story time with the book’s author—and activities to help bring the story alive!
Your Guide is a Self-Published Author. Miss Fust is an author of two Bible story picture books. Her scriptural re-tellings bring the ancient world and Bible verses to life for young and old alike and encourage fresh contemplation of the Bible stories we have heard again and again. This story brings the Bible to life for all, following one little sheep as he meets angels and the Holy Family.
It’s Educational. During the follow-along reading, we’ll have opportunities to think about the images of sheep, shepherds, angels, and the Holy Family. With printable coloring pages and companion guides for the Bible verses the story follows, the session will be not only listening but also a time when you and your child can interact, to enjoy more fully Bible passages.
From the downloadable pages, during the story time, you’ll also be able to make a puppet of the main character and color a page.

(From Amazon) Wooly was a scaredy cat – only he was a little lamb, not a cat. Wooly didn’t know why so many people were coming to Bethlehem that day. He only knew that it had something to do with the king.

Parental Guidance
Wooly and the Good Shepherd is 25 pages long and full of colorful illustrations to capture children’s interest and attention. While providing a fresh view of Biblical events, this book also talks about being afraid and being brave through Wooly’s actions and the support of his loving Good Shepherd. These lessons say that everyone is afraid sometimes, and bravery can be hard but leads to good things. It also clearly shows the model of the Good Shepherd as someone’s whose actions are worth imitating. Printable coloring pages and Bible verse guides are provided for the virtual session and for continued learning and enjoyment offline.
