When a Little Sheep Wanders: Helping Children Know the Shepherd Who Rescues with Author Paula Pasqua
Posted in At This Table
What happens when a curious little sheep wanders a little too far from the Shepherd who loves him?
In this episode, host Shelly Brown sits down with Paula Pasqua, author of The Adventures of Sheldon the Sheep: Sheldon & The Shepherd, a sweet and faith-filled children’s book about a curious little sheep with one black ear who loves to wander.
Paula shares the heart behind Sheldon’s story, including how a childhood writing disappointment stayed with her for more than fifty years, how God brought this book to life during COVID, and why she chose a sheep to help children understand deeper biblical truths in a simple, memorable way.
Through Sheldon’s adventure, children are gently introduced to themes of listening, obedience, consequences, rescue, and the loving care of the Shepherd. Paula also shares powerful real-life sheep stories, the biblical meaning behind the Shepherd’s staff, and why she believes children can understand the gospel when it is shared with clarity and love.
This conversation is especially meaningful for parents, grandparents, Sunday school teachers, children’s ministry leaders, and anyone who wants to help the children in their lives know Jesus as the Shepherd who calls, rescues, carries, and loves His sheep.
In this episode with Paula Pasqua, we talk about:
- Why Paula chose to write a children’s book after years of writing Bible studies and dramas
- The story behind Sheldon’s one black ear and why it helps children see their own uniqueness
- How real sheep behavior helped shape the story in biblically meaningful ways
- Why listening and obedience are connected to love and protection
- How Sheldon’s rescue gives children a picture of safety in the Shepherd’s arms
- Paula’s encouragement for adults who feel nervous about sharing the gospel with children
