What's This Book About
When St. Francis encounters a donkey who is unhappy with his lot in life, Francis tells him a story that heals. Long ago God punished the mischievous animal by giving him long ears, a loud bray, and heavy burdens to bear. Yet God gave the donkey something wonderful, too, as St. Francis demonstrates when he tells the Christmas story and the donkey sees who carried Mary to Bethlehem.
