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.
"Like the Christmas message itself, this is simple enough for young listeners to understand yet full of complexities for older children and adults to ponder." --Booklist, starred review
