"A Baa-rilliant Adventure is a brilliant re-telling of the famous story of the shepherds who visited the Holy Family when Jesus was born in Bethlehem. Every familiar story benefits from a new perspective and Jennifer Somervell provides this new perspective (which I won't describe as that would spoil the story), superbly illustrated by Zerika van Jaarsveld. This volume comes with a second blessing. As well as the story of the shepherds visiting the baby Jesus, there is a handy guide to "The history behind the story." Everything the reader needs to know about the life and times of sheep and shepherds when Jesus was born is provided in this concise, illustrated guide." -Peter Carrell, Bishop of Christchurch; ;"A sheep's-eye view of classic biblical tale. Beautifully illustrated and told with a dramatic twist." ; "I read this to my 6-year-old, who has not been introduced to the stories of the bible. It was a good opener for these conversations... then the dramatic plot twist turned the story into an adventure which emphasised the trust between a shepherd and his flock (another great conversation starter) It was great having the follow-up history/non-fiction section." -Toni Shanks, Editor, Upstart magazine
