Inhaltsangabe

In this timelessly beautiful 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.

Gerda Marie Scheidl&;s gentle retelling and Bernadette&;s evocative illustrations bring the message of Christmas to life.
