Sometimes, Bible verses or biblical teachings are a little difficult to understand for adults, much less for children. Jesus often taught in parables to help illustrate concepts and verses in the Bible.

In 2001, Carol Gedde started writing children's stories that help to illustrate the meaning of a single Bible verse. Little Lambs Discover the Psalms is the third collection of stories she wrote. All the stories are about little lambs and the Good Shepherd who cares for them. Each story helps to teach the meaning of a Bible verse found in the book of Psalms. The Bible verse is written on the cover and also repeated in the story (in italics) to drive the point home. All of the stories teach a valuable biblical lesson. The children will come to know and love the main characters (little lambs). They will laugh at their antics and see themselves in some of the lamb's mistakes. They will learn, along with the lambs, the importance of seeking and trusting in the Savior and following His rules and guidance. They will also learn of a Shepherd who is a loving, approachable, and forgiving presence in their lives.

The author has many more stories to publish. Eight stories in Little Lambs Lessons from Luke, eight in Little Lambs Ponder the Proverbs, and four more in Little Lambs Discover the Psalms, plus a single story, Little Lambs' Christmas. The author's hopes and dreams are to have all of these published, so they could be a blessing and a light to thousands of children and their families.
