Book Description
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 marvelous details of the Holy Land.

Book Description
May the joy of the Christmas season be over flowing in each one of your hearts. When I was a young mom I wanted for our kids to understand more of the Jesus part of Christmas than the Santa part. I knew we needed to help them understand the Bethlehem story more so I wrote a story with them in it. It comes through the eyes of the donkey that carried Mary to Bethlehem. Just insert yours and your husband's name where it says "John and Ruth" and insert your children's names where "Sarah and Andrea" are or where there are any references to them. If your family doesn't match ours in the way I wrote it, just put your names into the story however you see fit. I hope it will bring a blessing to you and your children and help you get behind the eyes of your child during this season and the excitement will override any of your stress. You can help your children experience the awe that we all need to feel as we realize that Jesus would humbly come down from heaven and be born in an animal stable just because He loves us.

Book Description
In this gentle retelling of the Christmas story, a little donkey sets out on the long journey to Bethlehem. Along the way he is sneered at by a camel and laughed at by the other animals. Feeling worthless, he begins to stumble and lose heart until a great light guides him to his destination. There he is rewarded for his courage and faith, and learns that the new king loves all creatures. Bernadette Watts' evocative illustrations bring the message of Christmas to life. "This story stresses that Jesus welcomes even the most lowly, and Watts' watercolors overlaid with crayon-like texture are appealing and rustic." –School Library Journal
