Bookroo's summary
An ordinary donkey embarks on a journey to Bethlehem, carrying a miraculous burden: the Virgin Mary. As he dreams of cities and ships, he unknowingly bears a lady full of heaven. Discover the beauty and wonder of the Nativity through his eyes, where dreams and reality intertwine on a night that changes the world.
From the publisher
A beautifully illustrated story of the Nativity. He was just an ordinary donkey, but on his back he carried a miracle. He carried the Virgin Mary to Bethlehem on the night she gave birth. Along the way he dreamed he was carrying a city, a ship, a fountain, and a rose. He dreamed he was carrying a lady full of heaven–and he was. Barbara Helen Berger’s glowing artwork and lyrical text perfectly convey the beauty and majesty of the story of the Nativity.”
