Pietas Kids

Pietas is the old word for duty kept.

Cover of The Sheepdog and the Wolf Pup by Andrew Bibb. A sheepdog in a red bandana sits on a hill with a wolf pup beside him; a flock grazes in the valley below.

Andrew Bibb

Douglas was a sheepdog, and a good one. He was made to watch, protect, and guide.

One night the wolves come. When the fight is over, a pup is left behind.

Leave it. Hide it. Or carry it home, and take whatever judgment comes.

Told in rhyme, for reading aloud.

Forthcoming.
