Have You Seen My Lamb
An Original Christmas Story
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
We very much cherish our traditional Christmas songs. It turns out that many of our Christmas songs (actual ones, not Santa songs) are 75 to 500 years old or more. Most are fairly serious and with serious melodic delivery.
With that in mind, we wished to create something new that was light hearted and more of a story-within-a-story, so to speak. And, specifically, a story that compels discussion between you and your child about the real story in the background.
It all began with a song of course. We then realized that a children's book would be a natural fit, complementing the original song (available separately on iTunes).
If you feel that this original Christmas story and melody (available separately) would make a valued tradition for another family, consider giving it as a gift for Christmas. It just might be the conversation starter that another family is praying for.
May this work be a blessing to you and your family, and a tradition that you pass down for generations to come.

About the Book
A beautiful moon rises into a sky full of stars above Bethlehem. On the edge of the village, a spirited young girl searches for her missing lamb, but the buzz going around tells her that she is not the only one on a quest. With whimsical lyricism and a knack for storytelling, this father-daughter duo reveals anew the moment that fulfilled ancient scripture - the birth of the Messiah. With Orsolya Orbán’s adorable illustrations, this story-within-a-story highlights how profound moments in our lives are often obscured by day-to-day experiences. The “Have You Seen My Lamb” singalong song is available, and sold separately on iTunes. WARNING: It’s catchy.
