"A shining star of a read to celebrate the birth of Baby Jesus, and a little donkey."
Brian Wildsmith was a huge talent in picture book illustration, and his legacy lives on in books like A Christmas Story. This beautifully illustrated gem is a stunning read. Intricate illustrations and a beautiful colour palette capture the joy of the Christmas story, in all its glory, with a twist.
The story starts with the birth of a little donkey, in a stable in Nazareth. At nine months old, the donkey's mother sets out on a journey to Bethlehem with Mary and Joseph and the story of the Nativity transpires. Missing his parents, he sets off on his own journey to follow them with his companion Rebecca. This alternative view of the Christmas story delivers such a unique perspective to the young reader. It feels wonderfully classic and yet fresh and new.
A new edition with a stunning new cover design will delight readers young and old, old and new. A perfect read for advent and the whole festive period.
