A long time ago in the Holy Land lived a dirty little donkey who hated hard work. And then he met gentle, kind Mary, and his world changed forever.



When Mary and Joseph are told they have to go to Bethlehem, who will carry Mary on the long journey? And when Herod's soldiers come looking for them, who will help them escape across the desert to Egypt?



This paperback is an exciting and beautifully told version of the Christmas story and the early years of little Jesus's life, from a unique, child-friendly perspective. It is ideal for family reading through the Advent season.



An engaging alternative to the traditional Christmas story, to be read to children age 6-8, or for children age 8-10 to read to themselves.



Suggested age range 7-10

Natalie Z. ★★★★★

My kids were captivated by the story of the little donkey meeting Mary, and the hardcover binding feels sturdy enough for bedtime reading every night. It's a sweet, simple retelling that sparked good questions about the journey to Bethlehem.

Lily ★★★★★

The illustrations of the little donkey’s shaggy coat made the story feel so real, and my toddler asked for it three nights in a row. It’s a sweet, simple tale that perfectly captures the Christmas spirit without feeling preachy.

George ★★★★★

The story’s pacing is perfect for bedtime — my kids were hooked on the little donkey’s transformation from stubborn to devoted. The illustrations on the cover alone made me smile, and the writing feels warm without being preachy. It’s become our go-to read this week.
