ADDISON — The popular nursery rhyme “Mary Had a Little Lamb” tells the tale of a lamb following a little girl to school and the teacher not allowing it to enter the classroom. On July 7, LeFerna “Louie” Walch will make it her business’ priority to get the lamb back into school.

Walch’s business, Mary’s Lamb Inc., has the purpose of teaching “unchurched” children about Jesus through a lamb.

The goal is to get the lamb into schools, so Walch will come out with a school supplies line in August. She doesn’t want the supplies to be released too early because she doesn’t want anyone to try to ban them.

“I’m sure we’ll run into controversy,” she said. “The whole point of this is to see the lamb and think of Jesus.”

In an effort to make the lamb popular, Walch wrote a 30-chaptered children’s novel titled “The Secret of Yahweh!” that introduces J.C. Lamb and her Chihuahua sidekick, “Angel.”

The story tells of J.C. Lamb, also known as Un-Secret Agent 7-7-7, going to a school because children aren’t allowed to say the words “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance. It is up to J.C. Lamb to “expose the secret that has been kept too well for too long.”
