Summary: Eleven-year-old Michel lives with his grand'maman in the mountains of southeastern France, and he is sure she deserves a donkey to carry wood and pull a little cart. But a donkey costs a great deal of money, and Christmas is only four months away. Michel delivers bread, herds goats and strikes bargains, saving every coin he can. Full of French Christmas customs, this warm story follows a boy's hard work and love as he tries to give his grandmother the best Christmas of all.
