Description: | Joseph’s Donkey is the heartwarming tale of a noble donkey purchased by Joseph shortly before his marriage to the Mary. The trusted creature helps Joseph in his carpentry business by hauling wood and stones, but he also plays a key role in all the major events recorded Jesus’ early years: he carries Mary to Bethlehem, where she gives birth to Jesus; he takes the Holy Family to Egypt to escape the evil King Herod; and he shuttles the family to Jerusalem, where the twelve-year-old Jesus gets “lost†in the Temple and is then found again. This rich and beautifully illustrated book, by artist Juliana Kolesova will be a source of stirring entertainment for children, who will fall in love with the strong, dignified, humble, hardworking donkey. But more importantly, Joseph’s Donkey will introduce children in a potent way to the mysterious and wonderful man, Joseph himself. |
