And the escape to Egypt
Here's an adapted for older children.
This story end with the wonder of the birth of Jesus, and the little donkey's promise to keep looking after his new family.
A long time ago in the Holy Land lived a dirty little donkey who hated hard work. And then he met gentle, kind Mary, and his world changed forever.

This is an exciting and beautifully told version of the Christmas story and the early years of little Jesus's life, from a unique, child-friendly perspective. It is ideal for family reading through the Advent season
