Wonky sense of humor that charmingly teaches kids not to follow the crowd. A Bellwether(#conniewillis) for kids if you will. ( )

Adorable children's book about being yourself and not bending when others tell you to change. Loved the illustrations and will add this to my list of kids books to purchase as presents. ( )

I read this book often to the children in my class, but I think that adults can get a lot out of it as well. Woolbur is a sheep who is determined to be different from the rest of the flock, which worries his parents who think he needs to be part of the flock because it is what sheep do. Woolbur's Grandpa isn't worried though, he is always the calm voice reminding the others not to worry. When children hear the story they giggle at Woolbur's silly antics but in the end they realize that he isn't afraid to be himself and that being different is okay. Sometimes I think that when adults hear the story, the voice of Grandpa is speaking to them, reminding them not to worry about their child's silly choices. Weaving yarn into your hair isn't the end of the world, neither is getting blue dye on yourself. It's okay to not sweat the small stuff and let the creative mind flow for a little while, because in the end that's how we find peace and harmony with ourselves. ( )

Woolbur is not like all the other little sheep which causes his parents to worry. Grandpa tells them not to worry as Woolbur figures out how to follows his parents rule of acting like all the other sheep.

Fun silly book that teaches the importance of being different and having fun with it. ( )
