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.
