Today on Show and Tell I am going to share a special little book of my daughter's that I bought for her this last Easter. It is about a little girl and her lamb. An earlier post, Hinds Feet on High Places, explains why I really like that image. You can go to it
here. The little girl in the book's name is Emmy. That is an affectionate name my husband calls our daughter on occasion. It is short for Mary Ellen, M.E., or Emmy! Most of the time we call her Mary but if you ask her what her name is, she will say, "Emmy." I discovered she called herself that one day when I heard her talking to herself and making up a little story and she referred to herself as Emmy. The book is so sweet about this little girl, Emmy, who bottle feeds this little lamb that can't be nursed by his mom. She takes care of him, names him Timothy, and keeps him until he is big enough to live on his own. I have included some pictures from the book. My favorite one is where the little girl is hugging the lamb. It is the same pose as the figurine I bought Mary from Willow Creek figurine collection that I have it in her room. I have also included some pictures of Mary looking at the book. For more Show and Tell posts you can click on the icon above and go there.

I love children's books! It's so great that you are buying great books for Mary to enjoy.
Great Show & Tell with your little daughter enjoying her book about the precious Lamb. Teaching her and preparing her heart for The Lamb of God.

My little granddaughter loved that book when she was smaller. Her name is Emily, but we call her Emmy. That was one of the reasons she loved the book so well.
Little Mary is so sweet.
That's a very cute book--I remember it from when oldest dd was little as she had one. Mary is such a little sweetie and I love her nickname☺
Cute book. There's a sheep/lamb farm nearby our home.
