"Sneaking around is like telling a lie, Buford, and lying is never good. It could put you in danger. Someday, it could even get you killed."
Buford's story takes place in the hills close to Bethlehem more than two thousand years ago. The little lamb loves to explore and play by himself in the dark. He wants to grow to be a large ram like his father, and he tries to prove he's afraid of nothing. Granny scolds Buford for sneaking away in the night and disobeying his parents, but she always waits for him to return. She also warns him about the dangers that lurk in the darkness beyond the protection of the shepherds. Buford doesn't listen though. One night, all Granny's warnings prove to be true, and Buford's life is changed forever.
What will happen to Buford? Is this story just make--believe or could Buford be the lamb we see in the manger scenes at Christmastime? Read this book to find out who Buford really is.
