What if Miss Peep wasn’t a completely helpless loser of sheep?  

What if both she and her flock could tend to themselves,  thank you very much?  

The nursery rhyme featuring Little Bo Peep casts the young shepherdess in a rather unfavorable light. Initially, she loses her entire flock of sheep. Then, rather than looking for them, she is overcome with feelings of helplessness and opts to take a nap. When she eventually rouses herself and decides to search for them, it's too late—her flock has met a tragic end, leaving her heartbroken.  This one was just BEGGING for a rewrite!

What if Ms. Peep wasn't portrayed as a helpless sheep loser? What if both she and her flock were fully capable of looking after themselves, thank you very much? What if she wasn't the "black sheep" of the herding community, but rather a skilled and confident shepherdess?

In my reinterpretation, I aimed to infuse “Bo” and her wooly buddies with a sense of strength and capability, transforming her from a passive figure to an assertive and resourceful leader of her flock.
