Children and parents alike will grow to appreciate the many subtle messages that will encourage good behavior without being preached to. “Which Gate” is merely a bird’s-eye view of a particular sheep who simply wants acceptance.

Readers will take a peek into the life of Joshua, who albeit is very popular, he sticks out like a fish on a leash. Not really because of his looks (although that is different too) but mainly because of his unorthodox personality.

If everyone else is going left, Joshua will be the one rolling to the right. But he accepts nearly everyone, along with their flaws. Even though they're unaware they have any, so all hooves are usually pointed solely at him. Since Joshua rarely speaks of them, his kindness is sometimes taken for weakness.

However, this happy sheep is stronger and more astute than many of his farm friends possibly realized. Thus, he ultimately finds favor from someone who is truly equally yoked.
