A beautiful hardback version of Mary's Little Donkey adapted for younger children.


A long time ago in the Holy Land lived a scruffy little donkey who hated hard work. And then he met gentle, kind Mary, and his world changed forever. When Mary and Joseph have to travel the long journey to Bethlehem, who can they rely on to get them there safely?



This is a unique version of the traditional nativity story, told from the child-friendly perspective of the little donkey, who grows in confidence and pride as Mary and Joseph place their trust in him. The story ends with the wonder of the birth of Jesus, and the little donkey's promise to keep looking after his new family.



Adapted for younger children from Gunhild Sehlin's classic chapter book, this Christmas story is sumptuously illustrated by Hélène Muller, with marvellous details of the Holy Land.

Grace L. ★★★★★

The hardback cover feels sturdy enough for little hands, and the story’s pacing is just right for a bedtime read. My daughter asks for it every night, and the illustrations really bring the scruffy donkey’s journey to life.

Isabella H. ★★★★★

My toddler was captivated by the story of the scruffy donkey and Mary, and the thick, glossy pages make it easy for him to turn them himself.

Julian ★★★★★

The hardcover feels sturdy enough for little hands, and my 4-year-old was completely engaged by the story of the donkey meeting Mary. It’s a sweet, gentle retelling that’s perfect for bedtime.
