The little white donkey knows he is valuable, for he has heard the miller brag. But he doesn'Äôt know what his path will be.

The little donkey watches the road to Jerusalem and wonders. Maybe he will be a great camel carrying rich merchant goods, or a stallion bearing a brave war leader. Then some dusty strangers come. He is needed by a man called Jesus, and soon his life will change.

Children will come to know the story of Palm Sunday through the eyes of the child-like donkey. And parents and children will also learn the joy of a path devoted to Jesus Christ.
