Sammy and His Shepherd

Sammy and His Shepherd

"I have the best shepherd in the whole world," Sammy said. "I know that I will never want for anything."

Sammy the sheep lives happily under the care of his faithful shepherd. But one day he meets a sheep from another flock, one who lives in misery because her shepherd is not so caring. Eventually, to the delight of both of them, Sammy's shepherd buys the needy little sheep for his flock and gives her a name - Precious. Thereafter, Sammy tells Precious all the wonderful things about their shepherd. At first, Precious has a hard time believing that the shepherd can be so good. But as she sees the shepherd pouring out his energies for the good of his flock, she comes to trust him, for she sees that he loves his sheep unconditionally and sacrificially.

Sammy and His Shepherd is a delightful journey through Psalm 23. As families read through the book, children will grow in their understanding of the metaphors the psalmist used in composing this beloved poem. But more important, they will gain a deeper appreciation for the one who is the subject of the psalm - the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ - and will learn what it means to be a part of His flock.
