Book Cover & Preview Text
One day when Lucas wasn’t the IT lamb, he thought he would find the best hiding place, so, he ran as far and as fast as he could to where there was a great big rock! He hid behind the great rock and waited for the IT lamb to find him. He waited and waited and waited but no one came. He kept on waiting and was beginning to get hungry and thirsty and tired too. He waited so long that he couldn’t remember from which direction he had run and it was also starting to get dark. He began to cry, “BAA, BAA I want my Mama, BAA, BAA I want to go home.”

About the Book
Lucas loves to play hide-and-seek and finds a great place to hide. It is such a fine place that no one can find him. He is afraid, lonely, and hungry and keeps waiting to be found, but no one comes. After a long wait, a man appears. He picks Lucas up and carries him on his shoulders to Lucas’s mama and tells Lucas that he is a shepherd and will always bring little lost sheep back to the sheepfold and their mamas.
About the Author
I am an eighty-year-old mother of three daughters and grandmother of three grandsons and four granddaughters. I live in Farmington Hills, Michigan. I attended Redford High School in Detroit and graduated from Albion College with a BA in fine arts with a minor in English literature. My start in writing for young children began in college when I had an assignment in a children’s literature class to write a story for children. Later, after I married, I had an opportunity to write again while living at Fort Sill, Oklahoma (my husband was in the army at the time). Upon our return to Detroit, I was employed by the Jam Handy Corporation (a commercial motion-picture and slide-film company) as a key liner. After my children were in high school, I was employed by the Detroit Art Services Company in Troy, Michigan, doing schematic drawings for the M1 tanks. I freelanced with various companies for a number of years, and for the past twelve years, I have been an Early Literacy volunteer at Hoover Elementary School in Livonia, Michigan, helping first graders learn to read. This enjoyable occupation has given me the opportunity to write stories for five- to eight-year-olds and also provided me with a captive audience when I read my stories to whole classes. I am creative in all types of crafts, including needlework, woodworking, painting (most mediums), and I create favors for parties. I enjoy travelling with my husband, gardening, and golfing in my spare time.
