The Sleepy Shepherd is so dozy he completely misses the visit of the angels... and the chance to greet the Christ-child in Bethlehem. But one crucial night, years later, he makes an important decision - to be a real shepherd to a man whose friends have all fallen asleep...

Utterly enchanting, The Sleepy Shepherd glows with colour, with each spread featuring a luminous mixed-media collage by Brighton-based illustrator Chris Hagan. Children and adults alike will love reading this heart-warming, timeless story - at Christmas and all the year round.

Industry Reviews

[On WALKING BACKWARDS TO CHRISTMAS] 'Cottrell has a gift for inhabiting the most diverse perspectives . . . All are rendered in glorious physical language, a strange but apt mix of Scripture and modern idiom. The result is revelatory. - The Tablet; [On CHRIST IN THE WILDERNESS: REFLECTING ON THE PAINTINGS BY STANLEY SPENCER]: 'Beautifully written.' - The Lance; [On THE NAIL]: 'This little book will be worth its weight in gold for clergy or lay people looking for inspirations for Good Friday services' - Expository Times; '[On THE THINGS HE SAID]: Energizing to read, conveying the Easter story in imaginative and atmospheric writing.' - Church of Ireland Gazette; [On THE THINGS HE CARRIED]: 'In these studies the author takes no prisoners. I felt as if he'd grabbed me by the scruff of the neck and made me follow Jesus every inch of the way . . .' - Christian Prayers and Resources
