A curious sheep breaks the rules. Predators lurk in the darkness. A loving shepherd searches until he brings him home.
Meet Leap….the most adventurous, fence-jumping, rule-ignoring sheep you’ll ever love. When Leap decides the shepherd’s rules are overrated, he bounds into the wide world alone. What could possibly go wrong? Quite a lot, as it turns out.
From a growling lion behind a boulder to a wolf with a very toothy grin, from a glorious muddy splat to a cold dark ditch in the middle of the night …. Leap’s big adventure doesn’t quite go according to plan. But when Leap cries out for help in the darkness, someone is already out there searching. Someone who never stopped looking. Someone who won’t rest until every single sheep comes home.
