Little Guy and the Remembering Tree: Special Memories Joy Devos

Joy DeVos has written a tale of two unlikely friends, a pet lamb, Little Guy, and his shepherd, Levi. The two friends love spending time together under their favorite tree, which they call their Remembering Tree, sharing memories of the past. Good memories and not so good memories, they are all open for discussion between these two friends. Some of their memories include: Little Guy getting stuck in some berry bushes, Little Guy getting attacked by a wolf, Little Guy leading some of his friends on an adventure that almost cost the life of one of them, and Little Guy going to school, are just a few of the adventures Little Guy has on his insatiable quest to learn new stuff. Little Guy has a difficult time going about learning new stuff the right way. He and his shepherd, spend a lot of time going to visit the Jesus Shepherd and praying for help. After sharing their memories, and before heading back to the sheepfold, the two friends decide to take a short nap under their tree. When they awake, they have a BIG surprise awaiting them. This story of unconditional love, honesty, trust, forgiveness and friendship, helps instill these qualities in children aged five to ten as well as younger children who have the book read to them. You will love reading about Little Guy. One reader remarked that she would not eat lamb chops again after falling in love with Little Guy.
