The Donkey’s Easter Tale

"Colvin's sentimental tale is just right for a Christmas read-aloud."--Publishers Weekly

On Christmas night, Mary gave birth to Jesus in a manger, surrounded by animals, among them, a donkey. Near the end of his life on Earth, Jesus rode into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday on the back of a donkey. When author Adele Colvin realized that the Bible makes mention of this lowly animal at both momentous occasions in the life of Christ, she began to consider the relationship between the animals and crafted these two stories.

Inspired by Scripture, these tales present Jesus' complete life story as witnessed by a very blessed family of humble donkeys. Two original songs enhance this touching and moving account of Christ's life, narrated over a delicately orchestrated musical setting. From Christ's birth and childhood to his ride into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, the Last Supper, Crucifixion, and glorious Resurrection, the life of Jesus is celebrated here by the modest animals who share the true meaning of what it is to love and serve him.
