"Woolbur" by Leslie Muir (not Lee Harper) is a charming children's story about a young sheep who stands out from the flock. Woolbur is a free-spirited and creative sheep who embraces his individuality through his unique ideas and playful ways. While the other sheep follow tradition and conform, Woolbur's antics often lead him into amusing situations. Despite the challenges he faces as a nonconformist, Woolbur teaches his fellow sheep that being different can be wonderful and valuable. The story celebrates creativity, self-expression, and the importance of embracing one's true self in a world that often encourages conformity.

Golden Sower Award - Primary
This book was recognised in the Primary category of the Golden Sower Award . Just as The Sower sows seeds, symbolizing the agriculture, life and prosperity of the state, the The Golden Sower Award seeks to sow seeds of literacy in children by encouraging them to read. The award became affiliated with the Nebraska Library Association as a committee under the School, Children and Young Peoples Section of the NLA in 1985. In 2016, the committee revised the categories of books in order to better describe the generally intended reading levels of the program. The three categories are now: Picture Books: (formerly Primary) generally appropriate for K-2 children; Chapter Books: (formerly Intermediate) intended to be appropriate for grades 3-5; Novel: (formerly young adult) appropriate for grades 6-8. In 2023, the committee revised and renamed the categories, keeping similar grade level designations, but adding an additional category targeted at high school readers. Each year, thousands of Nebraskas youth participate in the Golden Sower Award by reading titles, talking about the books with others, holding book battles, voting for their favorites, and throwing celebrations for the winners.
