Cover for Sheep Count Flowers featuring a drawing that seems to have been made by a child of flowers and a sheep made up of marker dots with yellow stars and yellow fishes in the sky. An adult seems to have added to the illustration with a more advanced drawing of a kid sitting on a green paint stroke looking up and pointing at the sky with his arm and legs made up of marker and his face drawn in ink with another child walking towards him from behind a flower with legs also drawn with marker and a face drawn in ink. The background is beige and the title is purple.

If we count sheep, what do sheep count to get to sleep? This dream-like book speculates on the answer to that question and more about sheep. Peruvian author and poet Micaela Chirif's picture books have won the “A la Orilla del Viento” picture book competition from the Spanish-language publishing house Fondo de Cultura Económica. Three of her picture books were White Ravens selections. [jm]
