What
is Sheep Crossing?
It's a new children's
video full of music and personality. With equal parts of facts and fun,
Sheep Crossing explores the world of sheep and wool, celebrating real
people--especially children--working with sheep. It's a story told with
images and music with just enough words to give background and structure.
It follows children and adults working with young lambs and preparing
for competition at fairs. It joins a contest where teams of children bring
wool from "Sheep to Shawl" in just four hours, introduces border
collies and their trainers and visits spinneries in Vermont and New Hampshire.
