Louie doesn’t have much luck when it comes to raising small creatures. So when his father brings home a newborn, sickly mini donkey, he is determined to save it. He names him Winslow. Caring for him helps Louie feel closer to his brother, Gus, who is away in the army.

Everyone worries Winslow won’t make it, especially Louie’s quirky new friend, Nora, who has experienced loss of her own. But as Louie’s bond with Winslow grows, surprising, life-altering events prove this fragile donkey is stronger than anyone could have imagined.

Written in the spirit of Creech favorites, Moo and Love That Dog, this standout story about love, friendship, and letting go will tug at heartstrings.
