Barbara, the little lamb: <!--Barbara the little lamb-->

"What if nobody likes me?" It´s tough enough to ask yourself that question when you´re a grownup — but, oh, the agony of a little one worrying about the first day of school!

Barbara is an insecure little lamb who wants only to make a good impression on her new classmates. If she´s beautiful, Barbara reasons, then everybody will like her.

So, the search is on for the perfect outfit: Princess costume? Ballerina? How about a butterfly suit? Everybody likes butterfliesâ¦.

Lucky for Barbara, she has a wise mommy who gently leads her daughter to discover the outfit that´s just right for a little lamb´s first day of school.

Barbara´s story is also available in the original French-language version: Barbara, le petit agneau. Here´s a link to French Barbara: Barbara en francais
