Mare: The Little Lost Sheep

•134 beautifully illustrated cinematic interactive story pages with animation, narration, puzzles, games & creative coloring for a powerful family storytelling experience

After reading MARE: The Little Sheep with Golden Horns, my daughter asked me to read it again the next night. My husband cried on page 12. A grandmother wrote to us and said she finally understood her whole life through a children's story.

=> "This is not a children's app. It happens to have a child in it."

Mare was a little lamb whose name meant My Sweet, until the day the shepherd she trusted destroyed everything she loved. She ran. Into a wilderness full of wolves, dragons, and false shepherds wearing kind faces. Through darkness and four shepherds who claim to care for her, you may recognise someone you know.

Maybe it's a child you're raising. Maybe it's a person you once trusted. Maybe it's you.

=> FOR THE PARENT READING THIS

You are looking for a story that does more than entertain — one that helps children understand trust, courage, deception, and being found again. You want them to understand that being broken does not mean being finished, and that someone is always looking for the lost one. A story that teaches without lecturing, and stays with them long after it ends.

"She didn't need to be perfect to be found. She just needed to call His name."
