Remy Had a Little Lamb: Children's picture book
About Remy
In Taḋg Paul’s take on a familiar nursery rhyme, a boy and his sheep — with the help of a very good dog — learn that even the best of friends can misunderstand each other. Playful rhymes and lively illustrations will delight the young and the young at heart.
Remy Had a Little Lamb began as a poem written in 2023, reimagined here as a picture book.
When a misunderstanding sends the little lamb out into the big wide world, he finds himself lost and alone. A chance encounter with a kind collie might be just what he needs to find his way home. Told in lyrical verse with a playful nod to the classic nursery rhyme, it's a warm and reassuring bedtime story for little ones navigating big emotions: getting lost, making friends, and finding your way back to the one who loves you most.

Illustrations
In 2022 a spinal cord injury left me with limited mobility and impaired manual dexterity. That I was able to illustrate this book at all is down to Susan Farrelly, my art mentor and the Art Programme at Spinal Injuries Ireland.
