Synopsis:
A delightful picture book for the whole family this spring filled with the warmth of a loving family.
It's just before the first Passover seder and Miriam's been practicing The Four Questions for weeks. But one of her sheep is acting strangely. Lambing season is over, so what could be wrong with Snowball? Then - surprise - Snowball gives birth to triplets! But Snowball doesn't have enough milk. The third baby will have to be bottle-fed every four hours. Miriam's father thinks the family should stay home with the lamb. Can Miriam rescue the lamb - and the family's holiday?

I love this story. It's based on a true event that happened on our farm, just before Passover. I'm so happy to share it. I hope you love it, too.
