Book Description
Pedro is a small donkey who escapes the oppression and hardship of being forced into labor. He leaves his home in search of love and respect, wanting to become the best donkey in the world. Pedro is an extraordinary animal. He is born into a group of donkeys who transport tourists in the small town of Lindos, on the Greek island of Rhodes. The work is difficult, so the donkeys are unhappy because their owner is very demanding. The little donkey learns quickly from the other donkeys, developing the skills he needs to escape and build a life for himself. On Pedro’s first day of work, attempting to carry a very fat and aggressive tourist, he struggles. He is too small and weak to carry the tourist’s weight. When the tourist abuses Pedro, he fights back. His mother begs him to run away and find a better life. He escapes, promising that he will return for her. Pedro meets a little girl while he is eating flowers outside a florist shop. She convinces her grandfather to let the donkey live with them. One day, Pedro stops a bank robbery. His fame as a hero brings him to the attention of his past owner, who wants his donkey back. Will Pedro be able to stay with his new friend, or will he have to return to his old life?
