The Sheepover: Sweet Pea and Friends




Churchman, J. C. (2015). The Sheepover: Sweet Pea and Friends. New York: Little, Brown &.

Sweet Pea, Sweat Pea! Something's wrong with Sweat Pea!
Sweet Pea, Sweet Pea! What's wrong with Sweat Pea?
Sweet Pea is much better!
Sweet Pea is better! Sweet Pea is better!

Family is everything. But what happens when one doesn’t have one? A story about how despite the fact an orphan sheep is “alone” in this world, her friends make sure that she does not feel alone. This “orphan” sheep receives the same love and support from her dear friends that she would have received from her family. Her friends are able to nurture her back to health reminding her that she does have a family that cares about her.

This book teaches the readers about the importance of family and the unity that comes off of it in times of hardship. It also teaches them that sometimes, when we think we are alone, we really aren't because there are other people around us that will go out of their way to lend a helping hand. When Sweat Pea was sick she received the support she needed to get over her illness. That's the beauty of life, you're never really alone even when you think you are.
