Gilda the Giant Sheep

An oversized presentation makes the fun drawings in Emiio Urberuaga's Gilda the Giant Sheep come alive as they embellish a simple tale of a giant sheep who requires twenty shepherds to help her.

Good reading skills or parental read-aloud assistance will lend to this fun story of a sheep who makes the most of her size.
~Midwest Book Review

The translated English edition is just as delightful as the Spanish version.

A book to be shared, savored, and discussed.
~Kirkus Reviews

Illustrations are in the tradition of Steinberg and Sempé, the characters captured in economical, expressive ink lines, with washed skies in various shades of blue and rose. Gilda’s misfit status (“I’m completely useless”) makes her final triumph more satisfying; there’s a place for everyone, Urberuaga argues—one just needs to find it. A Spanish edition will publish simultaneously.
