Illustrated by
John Butler.
A shy lamb hides behind his mama when approached by some more-outgoing animals. He finally opens up after meeting a little mouse who, like him, enjoys the comfort of having her mother close by. Like the story, the illustrations are soothing: lush green meadow with blue and purple-pink sky serves as a backdrop to the wide-eyed animal portraits.
