Paul Gallico's The Small Miracle

1952, Doubleday
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Carolyn Croll & Carolyn Croll. Barton retells Gallico's short story of a boy determined to do whatever it takes to heal his sick donkey. The retelling is much abbreviated but uses some of the original text and maintains the spirit of the original tale. The flat, simplified art with its gold, green, and brown tones gives the reader a strong sense of the Italian setting.
