Fleecia: The Lost Lamb is an allegory about Jesus as the Shepherd. Fleecia is a lamb that was born in the pasture but now longs to know what adventures she would have if she was to venture out on her own.

Fleecia, Merino, and Lupie are best friends. Merino is the levelheaded friend that reminds Fleecia of how good she has it in the pasture, and Lupie is the goofy friend that wants to chase butterflies and count sheep to go to sleep.

It is not until she reaches the forest and the night begins to fall that she begins to long for what she left behind. She spends the night in the rain, with no shelter, all the while hearing the creatures of the night. In the morning, she faces new difficulties.

The simplicity of being able to find cool, green grass and a refreshing drink of water is much more difficult without the care of the shepherd. When all seems lost and Fleecia finds herself in peril, she finally calls out for the shepherd. The shepherd reaches down and pulls her to safety and returns her to the flock.
