The Littlest Shepherd and The Lamb of God

Moshe, the youngest and littlest of the small band of Bethlehem shepherds, would rather be doing anything else than the boring job of watching his flock of sheep. The other shepherds not only bully him but also cruelly mistreat his crippled lamb, Droopy, so named because he sadly droops his head when abused and when he valiantly but unsuccessfully tries to keep up with the rest of the sheep who treat him with disdain.After the wise older shepherd gave Moshe advice to continue to try his best so that good things will flourish as a consequence, Moshe witnesses a miraculous and holy evening that changes the lives of the shepherds, the crippled lamb, and the entire course of history. Both the littlest shepherd and his crippled lamb companion embark on an adventure that entails facing down bullies, coming of age, life–threatening danger, the dawning of friendship, and a confirmation that truly underscores the concept that if you try your best, God has the power to make good things happen even to the lowliest of us.
