One Small Donkey

📖 The Scoop

This heartwarming Christmas book from Dandi Daley Mackall shares the nativity story from the experience of a tiny donkey who shows that God has big plans for little ones when he carries Mary to Bethlehem where she gives birth to Jesus.

Though the donkey wasn’t the biggest, fastest, or strongest of all the animals, he had an important job. In One Small Donkey, 4 to 8-year-olds will

• take part in the nativity story from a fresh perspective
• learn that no one is too little to do big things for God
• identify with the little donkey who feels out of place in a world that seems big and important
• celebrate the arrival of baby Jesus
• enjoy the rhyming story that follows the donkey along his journey with Mary and Joseph to the manger
