We're all sheep. Except him.
A children's book about the courage to be different.
Look Inside the Book
I know your mama taught you how to stand and chew and bleat.
But even green pastures won't stay safe in the farms of the West.
Not with a hungry coyote on the loose.
One outlaw is free from the herd's fears of bad looks and bad actors. Nobody wants to deal with Blah Blah Black Sheep, not even coyotes. That's when the flock learns that the courage to defend the farm starts not with a bleat but with a blah.
Not with a hungry coyote on the loose.
One outlaw is free from the herd's fears of bad looks and bad actors. Nobody wants to deal with Blah Blah Black Sheep, not even coyotes. That's when the flock learns that the courage to defend the farm starts not with a bleat but with a blah.
He zigs when the flock zags.
He blahs when the flock bleats.
He howls at the moon when the flock sleeps.
But when danger comes lurking...
WHO WILL YOU BE?

Does your own black sheep stand out boldly from the flock? Whether your children struggle with an excess of boldness in a timid flock, or need that extra push to get out there and stand up to the wolves, Blah Blah will be right there with them.
Blah Blah Black Sheep's boldness and bravery aren't appreciated by his flock, but he still isn't afraid to take a stand for what's right and protect them.
Teach your child to stand out from a frightened crowd, and to stand up for those who don't have their rough and tumble spirit.
With story from N.D. Wilson and stunning illustrations from Forrest Dickison (both of Hello Ninja fame), your little sheep will want to climb right into the pages and bound and fly by Blah Blah's side.

Exciting and engaging story, beautiful illustrations my kids LOVE this book!
C
This book has given my children great enjoyment. While being a great tool to call the whole family up to courage , joy, and adventure.
We can’t wait to read what Forest creates next.
The documentary of the book has also inspired my oldest son to start writing and i illustrating his own book.
Thank you canon press for inspiring my children.
J
From the day it arrived, we have enjoyed this story. Beautiful artwork, engaging text, GREAT story.
G
The paper is nice and thick, it will survive longer than other picture books. The art is so pretty, and the story is sweet. Exited for the show!
M
We have the original version and it was perfect for the 2-3 year old years…this new updated extended version is so fun. We all love it! The words are already memorized and the pictures offer so much exploration and imagination.
K
I read Blah Blah Blacksheep to three of my grandchildren over facetime this morning, and when I finished they immediately yelled in unison, “Read it again!”
J
Not only is it beautiful and fun, but it’s his book has been useful in parenting. When my boys, 4 and 3, start to pour we ask “are you going to kill the cranky dragon?” It’s a simple and fun way to remind them that they can obey and blessed even when they’re sad or disappointed. They even ask to read it when they’re having a particularly grumpy day.
A

M
My son (he’s two) and I love, love this book. I can’t get enough of the pictures, the illustrations are gorgeous! I love the detail put into each page. I notice new things every time I read it. It’s a feast to look at. The story is really fun and engaging, and teaches a good lesson in an exciting way.
M
My son loves this book, and so do I! Both the writing and the illustrating are lovely. It’s fun and cheerful and a relevant story for little ones (and grown ups, too!).
K
I love what the book teaches and the illustrations and imagination don't get boring to read to my kids. The book extends beyond the story itself.
A
So great!

All of my kids 18months to 13 years old love these books! My 13 year old is inspired bt the illustrations and my 9 year old said "this is a great book for little kids to learn from" and has offered to read it to the younger siblings many times!

Crispin's Rainy Day
J
After finishing this book, my three year old uttered an “Amen!” and I couldn’t agree more.
I
Both I and my children (ages 3,5, and 7) love this book. There are some books that are a slog as a parent to get through. This is not one of those. You will love it and so will your kids. Surprisingly humorous too. There is a page that always gets a laugh.
H
I recently was exposed to the disappointing movie, How to Train a Dragon. It was demoralizing and terribly confusing for young Christian minds who are drawn in by the beautiful animation and empathy with God’s creatures. In contrast, Crispin’s Rainy Day displays excellent art with a noble and realistic drama. The hero overcomes his own sin to win the day for a godly feminine hero who instructs me every time I think of her character. This is good art!
B
My kid loves it
J
absolutely fantastic! i got this as a late Christmas gift for two young kids, a brother and sister. As they say: kill the dragon, get the girl!

C
This one is simple and great for new readers. She is very interested in reading everything and loves that she can pick this one up and read much of it. It will be one we read often, and maybe that will help understand the moral and point, for all of us. And it’s confusing when a rhyming book stops rhyming in a weird way…
