The Donkey and the Golden Light

(3) K-3 Illustrated by John Speirs. A donkey reflects on the "magnificent golden light" that he experienced on the night he was born, the same night (and stable) of Jesus' birth. The donkey's name (Bethlehem), the long but gentle text, and the Bruegel-inspired illustrations maintain the connection between the donkey and Jesus. An artist's note and illustration reference are appended.
