A timely and timeless retelling of the Christmas story, inspired by refugee children everywhere.

‘A book to share with a lump in your throat and an ache in your heart.’ – Chris Riddell, Former Children’s LaureateIn this powerful and evocative story, Jesus, Mary and Joseph flee Herod before finding sanctuary in Egypt. Uniquely, it is told in the voice of the donkey who carries them all to safety. Heartfelt in its message about the struggle of refugees and the kindness of strangers, this book is as relevant today as when it was first published ten years ago.
