Barnaby the Runaway

Barnaby is a young sheep who loves life on the farm—but there’s one thing he fears: getting his wool sheared. As the dreaded clippers draw near, Barnaby’s fear takes over, and he runs away, embarking on an unforgettable adventure.

Join Barnaby as he bravely flees into the unknown, seeking refuge in a dark cave. But with his wool growing thicker and his hunger gnawing at him, Barnaby soon realizes that freedom isn’t as sweet as he thought. He begins to miss the comfort of his home, the warmth of his flock, and the loving care of his shepherds.

As the cold nights grow longer and loneliness settles in, Barnaby’s heart longs for the familiarity of his flock and the love of those who care for him. Just when he feels lost and alone, a familiar call breaks the silence. Could it be his shepherds searching for him?
