Paolo The Sheep Dog

Why we love this book

This lively graphic story explores what happens when leadership turns into control, and how listening can matter more than directing. As Paolo struggles to adjust to retirement, children are invited to reflect on teamwork, flexibility, and the importance of letting others find their own way. With humour and adventure, it gently shows that helping doesn’t always mean being in charge.

When to read this book

A wonderful choice for emerging readers who enjoy visual storytelling and light-hearted adventure. Especially fitting when talking about sharing responsibility, respecting others’ space, or learning that collaboration works better than control.
