When sheep cannot sleep, what do they do? One night a sheep called Woolly cannot sleep, so he decides to go for a walk to try to tire himself out. When that doesn't work, he tries climbing, then running, then jumping.
But perhaps there is a more conventional way for Woolly to fall asleep...

Satoshi Kitamura was born in 1956 in Tokyo. He says that when he was young he read comics and admits that these have had a great influence on his style. He says he was also influenced by anything visual from a tin of sardines to the fine art of the East and the West. He was not trained as an artist, but at the age of 19 began to do commercial work. From 1976-1979 he worked as a commercial artist in Japan, working as an illustrator for adverts and magazines. He moved to London in 1979 and worked mainly at designing greeting cards. He started illustrating for Andersen Press in 1981 after he had an exhibition of his work at the Neal Street Gallery in Covent Garden.
