Lily the Donkey's Adventures

Lily's Desert Adventure is the second book in a first reader's bible series that tells the story of the life of Jesus through the eyes of a little donkey named Lily. In the first book, Lily's Secret, the carrot-munching, care-free Lily overcomes her initial fear and self-doubt of her ability to fulfill a huge responsibility, to safely carry Mary and Jesus, the unborn child, to Bethlehem. Once Lily successfully completes her task and Baby Jesus had been born, she thinks they can all go home. But when the Wisemen visit the Holy Family, she senses that something has changed. In the darkest hour of the night, Joseph wakes her and says they have to hurry to a strange new land to keep Jesus safe. She is off to the desert, her journey still far from over, and another adventure begins.

Lily the Donkey's Adventures with the Holy Family continue as they depart Bethlehem in the dark of night to escape King Herod's clutches. After crossing the desert, they arrive in Egypt and Lily's Egypt Adventure unfolds as new and old animal friends join the entourage and learn and share lessons of love, kindness, and forgiveness. Young readers will enjoy this bible 'fan fiction' told from the perspective of Lily, a carrot-munching, feisty donkey, Professor Rakim Rabbit, Red Dog, Yoyo the monkey, lions Kufu and Aziza, camel siblings Daisy and Deca, and more!
