About this listen

Behind the beloved nursery rhyme lies a tender tale of love, sacrifice, and quiet heroism.

In this heartwarming origin story from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz author L. Frank Baum, a poor widow and her devoted young son live a humble life by the river. When illness strikes his mother, the boy—dressed in a handmade blue suit—sets out to find work and support their small household. His kind heart and earnest spirit win him a job as a shepherd, and soon the countryside rings with the sweet sound of his silver horn.

But when misfortune causes Little Boy Blue to fall asleep on duty, the sheep stray, the corn is trampled, and his future seems uncertain—until compassion, truth, and the bond between mother and child bring about a surprising turn of fate.

Richly narrated by Sumara Meers, this timeless fable blends moral wisdom with gentle emotion, capturing the innocence of childhood and the quiet strength found in simple acts of love.
