Benny: A Shepherd Boy's Story

Benny, the shepherd boy, just turned thirteen and, for the first time, is left alone to care for the village sheep. When his father and the other shepherds were summoned by an angelic voice to follow a bright star to Bethlehem, Benny found himself in shock. "What if I don't know what to do? What if I can't..." Alone for two days and nights, Benny is challenged when a leopard attacks his flock, but he remembers his father's promise. "You can do this. Everything will be alright."Benny, A Shepherd Boy's Story draws inspiration from the Gospel of Luke, Chapter 2:8-20. The narrative follows a young boy who is unexpectedly tasked with tending the sheep alone, and faces a series of unforeseen challenges as his father and fellow shepherds depart hastily to seek Mary, Joseph, and the child lying in a manger.
