Critic reviews

"As a mama, we hope to find ways to teach our children about important character qualities such as kindness and resilience and it can be so hard to find resources! I loved reading this charming story to my four children and watching the smiles cross their faces as they learned the story of Shaggy Donkey. As we watch The Shaggy Donkey transform from a lonely hopeless animal to a loved and confident pet, my kids can hear how they have unique gifts that can help others. I am delighted to add this book to our library, and look forward to reading it through many times and being reminded that we can transform any obstacle to an opportunity. Thank you, Shaggy Donkey, for reminding my family about the importance of spreading kindness!" (Brittany L. Pediatric Speech Language Pathologist)

"The Shaggy Donkey is a beautiful story about finding the good in ourselves and embracing the valuable gift of love. It’s so important to instill the importance of taking care of living creatures for our children and this story nails it. One experience is all it takes to change a child, and sometimes a whole family for the rest of their lives. Must read!!" (Justine S. Children’s Teacher and Business Owner)

"Our resilience after a painful past is a testament to the gift of Grace we receive from God. Take it from The Shaggy Donkey; until his Rescuer came to change his neglectful circumstances, he lived in pain and fear. As he followed his new Master out of his dark and lonely barn, he began to sense a joy he never knew. Eventually, in his new home where love grew on trees, The Shaggy Donkey couldn't help but hee-haw with joy and ease." (Jenny M. Children’s Teacher)
