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 overheard projector sheets and drew up the story of Cecil and the Lost Sheep. The congregation loved it, so Andrew continued to draw stories to use with kids and adults. Other student, pastors, and teachers started borrowing the stories.

This “Cecil and Friends” book is based on John 15:1,5. This happens to be part of one of my favorite sections of scripture.
I liked the fact that Mr. McDonough named the branch. Since the branch represents us, it’s filling that it has a name. It’s a very good illustration of how we are grafted into the family of God.
Okay, I have to admit that the bug-eyed characters didn’t bother me in this book.
