Sara lives with a large herd of sheep a beautiful farm in the country. Although she is a very kind lamb, none of the other sheep include her, nor are very nice to her. This is all because Sara is different—for some strange reason, she was born with a set of horns either side of her head. Having no idea why, Sara simply assumes that she is an oddball lamb, and despite the fact that she is very lovely, none of the other sheep treat her as their equal. Poor Sara must play by herself while the other sheep play together. But then one day, a nasty little wolf named Jimmy threatens the community of sheep! He says he will cast a magic spell on the sheep, turning them into tiny creatures for the wolfs to eat, unless they leave the area so that the wolfs can build their own kingdom there! Afraid of Jimmy’s magic, the sheep believe they have no choice but to leave—until Sara steps in, surprising everyone (and most of all herself!) with her magic powers. It is then that she first learns she is a special little lamb—and the other sheep learn an important lesson about treating others with respect! This is an ideal childrens book that tackles issues like low confidence and bullying
