Jerusalem Donkey - Patricia Kreiser

A humble donkey. A mighty Savior. A journey that changed the world.

Little Donkey never imagined he would be part of something so important. Shy and small, he is used to staying in the background while bigger, stronger animals do the exciting jobs. But one day, everything changes when he is chosen to carry a very special passenger.

Then Little Donkey scared and shy,

saw a man with gentle eyes,

who stroked his neck and pulled him near.

“No need to worry. I am here.”

As Jesus climbs onto his back and they begin their journey to Jerusalem, Little Donkey's worries slowly fade away. Along the road, crowds gather to cheer, palm branches wave, and joyful voices fill the air. But Little Donkey discovers something even more wonderful than the celebration—Jesus has come because of His great love for God's children. With every step, Little Donkey learns that he is helping carry the Savior who would change the world forever.

Filled with warmth and wonder and illustrated with beautiful, reverent watercolors, this heartwarming retelling of the Palm Sunday story invites young readers to experience the excitement of Jesus's triumphant entry through the eyes of an unlikely hero. A beautiful reminder that God often chooses the humble, the small, and the unexpected to help tell His greatest story.
