About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child feels like they need to hide a part of themselves to fit in. Sheepish gently explores this feeling through a clever and humorous story about a wolf who is tired of being a wolf. He disguises himself as a sheep named Elliot and discovers he's quite good at it. But maintaining his cover is lonely, especially when he makes a real friend. This early chapter book is perfect for kids aged 6 to 9, using charming illustrations and a heartfelt story to open conversations about identity, belonging, and the courage it takes to be your true self with the people who care about you.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The central theme is identity and the feeling of being an impostor. It's a metaphorical exploration of hiding parts of oneself to be accepted (e.g., code-switching, concealing interests, or deeper aspects of identity). The approach is secular and gentle. The resolution is very hopeful, affirming that true friendship is based on acceptance of one's whole self.
