This is one of my son's well-loved bedtime stories. He enjoys the illustrations, pointing out the butterfly and following the red trails across the pages. He's a little young to understand the meaning at the moment but I enjoy the beautiful message it conveys.
My son loves to explore and I encourage this through sensory, exploratory, unrushed activities whenever I can. When we are out ambling through the woods or he's creating a piece of artwork in his own unique way, I often think of him as the wandering lamb, taking his time to walk his own path on a journey of creativity, exploration and play. And I love him all the more for being him and doing things his way <3
