THE LITTLE DONKEY, children's colouring book - Paperback

by Pauline Shone (Author), Pauline Shone (Artist)

This Passover/Easter colouring book tells an imaginary story of a little donkey called Zac. He and his mother Rachel live on a farm, in a village near Jerusalem. Rachel's master frequently rides her to the market in Jerusalem, and he hears many exciting stories about Jesus.

One day, Rachel tells Zac a very old story, about a king who would come to Jerusalem riding on a foal of a donkey. Zac is surprised that a king would choose to ride on a young donkey, because important people ride on horses. When Zac has grown a little more, he learns that this special king has finally come to Israel!

This illustrated Bible story concludes with Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem, riding on a donkey's colt. That day is known and celebrated as Palm Sunday.
