The Shepherd Knows My Name: A Vesper Meadow Story

The Shepherd knows your little one's name, too. Pip is the smallest lamb in Vesper Meadow. Too small to leap the brook. Too slow to keep up with the flock. So small, he wonders if anyone sees him at all. But when the vesper bell rings and the sheep come home, the Shepherd kneels down low - right where the littlest one stands - and says the words every child needs to hear: "I knew your name before you could bleat it. Small is not hard for me to see." A gentle, soothing read-aloud for ages 4-8, told in warm watercolor and inspired by Psalm 23 and the Good Shepherd who "calls his own sheep by name" (see John 10:3). Inside you'll find: - A complete bedtime-perfect story with a calming read-aloud rhythm - Soft, emotionally safe illustrations - nothing scary, ever - "The Shepherd's Page," a one-page guide helping parents and godparents connect the story to God's love and your child's Baptism >A treasured gift for Baptisms and christenings, godchildren, grandchildren, Easter baskets, baby showers, and birthdays - and for every little one who has ever felt too small to be seen. Tonight, when the lights go low, tell them the truest thing there is: the Shepherd knows their name.
