Andrew is the creator, writer, and illustrator of the Lost Sheep series. Way back in 1989 as a young Bible college student, Andrew was asked to give the dreaded “children’s talk” at a large church. Andrew possessed one talent: he could draw sheep. He bought some overhead projector sheets and drew up the story of Cecil and the Lost Sheep. T he congregation loved it, so Andrew continued to draw stories to use with kids and adults. Other students, pastors, and teachers started borrowing the stories.

This Cecil and Friends book is based on Mark 10:13-16. It’s presented in a way that children ages 4-7 can understand and relate to. Be sure to read Cecil’s page before reading the book to your child. It’s very helpful.
I’m sure they will also enjoy the illustrations as well, but I’m not too crazy about all the bug-eyed people. As for the disciples, I understand the two fishermen, but who is the thug with the shades and long pointy hair? Please share who you think he is in the comment section.
