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.

This is hands down one of my favorite books for Christmas! I wish it was still in print, but I am grateful that I can find it on here used! The illustrations are beautiful and the story is simple and sweet. Perfect for my little kids

One of the sweetest, most soothing stories ever. Illustrations are beautiful and give the opportunity to discuss symbolism.
Perhaps this was written as a ‘Christian’ book, but I think its appeal is universal- isn’t every expectant mother ‘full of Heaven’?

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Beautiful Book!
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2007

My mother had this book when I was a little girl and I always wanted her to read it to us every Christmas time. I just love the illustrations! And even at a very young age, I would want her to read the authors note at the end that talks about all the symbolism in the pictures. When I got older I would read it to myself on Christmas Eve before going to bed. It is such a beautiful book! I was very excited to be able to buy it this year, so that next year when my baby girl is here for Christmas, I can read it to her and it can be a family keepsake.

My granddaughter loves this book. It's become her favorite and wants it read to her every night before going to bed. It's beautifully illustrated for a child with simple, yet engaging text.

4.0 out of 5 stars Needs better story description

Great story, if you are a Catholic? I got this book for my Sunday School Class and it was full of gorgeous imagery and pictures that they could understand. Some of it was way above their heads -- and it was above mine too. Story uses tons of metaphors that I was not familiar with. Do some research elsewhere to get a better description of everything in this book.

My 2 year old loves all Barbara Helen Berger books. Somehow he always asks to re-read over and over her books. Maybe it's the beautiful illustrations or the beautiful, deep stories. Wish there were more kids authors like her out there!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for your Holy Christmas Collection
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2016

This is the most beautifully illustrated book which shows the caring and compassionate character of donkeys as well as points to the beauty of the relationship within the Holy Family and the promise of the Christ Child. I read this book to the children at our church at Christmas time on the Sunday that we take two miniature donkeys to act as outside greeters.
