Uan the Little Lamb

Sandra Klaassen

On a remote Scottish island, two children find an abandoned lamb and take her home. They call her ‘Uan’, which means ‘lamb’ in Gaelic. Slowly the lamb grows up and they love playing with her and taking her everywhere. What will happen when she becomes a sheep? Sandra Klaassen depicts the Outer Hebrides in drawings brimming with life and her love of the landscape and people. This is a charming story told through the eyes of two young children.

She has illustrated over twenty children’s books, including Tom’s Elephant, Around the Year, Fireflies, Magic fishes and Treasurediggers, and Mermaids, Pirates and Frothy Waves.
