Download or read book A Burro s Tale written by P. Day and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-08-14 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Burro's Tale is the story of one young burro and the important job he performs that gains him the acceptance from the other working burros in the stable and places him at the heart of perhaps the most famous story ever told. The setting for this story is Old Santa Fe, New Mexico, and the surrounding valleys. Jerusalem, for the purposes of this story, has been transformed into Old Santa Fe; and the story has a warm Hispanic blanket wrapped around it. On one particular year, Raphael's burros had all been rented, with the exception of Pedro. That is, until Joseph and Maria arrive in need of a burro to assist them on their journey. Pedro's first job is a very, very important one and he unexpectedly winds up smack-dab in the middle of the first Christmas. This beautifully illustrated toddlers version of the story was developed from the full length paperback of A Burro's Tale. In later years, you may wish to introduce the full-length paperback to your child, and they should have a comforting familiarity with the story that will date back to this toddler's version.
Download or read book A Burro s Tale written by P. Day and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-03-07 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author, P. J. Day and his two brothers and two sisters grew up in the magical valley of Tesuque, located just outside of Santa Fe, New Mexico. One of the family pets was a one-year-old little gray burro named Pedro. While reminiscing about that marvelous childhood Christmas Day in 2001, P. J. wrote a short poem for his daughter Jordyn, placing Pedro smack-dab in the middle of the first Christmas. A Burro's Tale evolved from that poem conceived on Christmas Day, 2001. The setting for A Burro's Tale is in fact the Tesuque Valley. Raphael's family business in the story is renting out his burros to the townsfolk who do not have a burro of their own. The burros are rented for travel, pulling carts, plowing fields, and carrying goods from the market. Pedro, the central character in A Burro's Tale, is younger and a bit smaller than the rest of the burros and has not yet been chosen for his first day of work. Pedro's journey throughout the story is really about the coming of age that all youngsters eventually face and learning to take his responsibilities seriously. Kids can be cruel, and Pedro's peer group in the story is no different. In order to gain acceptance, he must learn to ignore the relentless teasing from the other burros on the ranch (and a couple of mischievous horseflies) and work very hard to prove his worth. The story is filled with many valuable life lessons that all kids and young adults will relate to, because they will all go through them one day, or are being tested at this very moment. At all cost, it's about doing the right thing.

Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of Born to Run, a heartwarming story about training a rescue donkey to run one of the most challenging races in America, and, in the process, discovering the life-changing power of the human-animal connection. "A delight, full of heart and hijinks and humor." —John Grogan, author of Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog When Christopher McDougall decided to adopt a donkey in dire straits, he had no idea what he was getting himself into. But with the help of his neighbors, Chris came up with a crazy idea. Burro racing, a unique type of competition in which humans and donkeys run side by side over mountains and through streams, would be exactly the challenge Sherman and Chris needed. In the course of Sherman’s training, Chris would enlist Amish running clubs, high-spirited goats, the service animal community, and two Sarah Palin–loving long-distance female truckers. Sherman’s heartwarming story of overcoming all odds to run one of the most unbelievable races in America shows the healing power of movement and the strength of the human-animal connection.
