Publisher Description
The Nativity with a twist ... to enthrall, delight, inspire and encourage.
You may have heard what the shepherds did, the angels sang or the wise men knew ... but who ever heard what the donkey had to say?
This "utterly gorgeous ... visual delight" (Moms & Tots Leader, URC) is the donkey’s story of a surprise encounter and how it changed him.
"An adorable book for young children, ages 3-7, and even those younger and older, with something to take away on every level..." BOOK CRASH
"We love it ... wonderfully told, beautifully illustrated, & SO original..." Sinead & Martin Kromer (Federation of Children’s Book clubs)
"...Gets to the heart of the Christmas message in a new and innovative way..." review (amazon)
"...Yes, it’s the message of Christ’s birth. But the stubborn-donkey perspective adds another dimension. Kindness transforms. God uses the unlikeliest of us. God makes the impossible possible. The lessons aren’t spelled out, but lay the groundwork for meaningful discussion..."( Book Crash)
"...missed by the chains..." (The Book Seller)
...Schroder’s lettering for her text is as distinctive as her imagination (Publishers Weekly)
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A blue donkey is pressed into service to transport a couple that includes "a woman with a massive bump" who has a persuasive way with lazy donkeys. Thanks to her cajoling and feeding, the donkey completes a very important journey for the woman, a man, and their newborn child. Schroder's lettering for her text is as distinctive as her imagination. The book begins a series of three stories about unlikely, flawed participants in the Christmas story who rise to the occasion with God's help. Ages 2 7.
