Judge’s Commentary:
Excellent cover image; very clever to have the adorable donkey featured in the take on the classic painting. Very engaging, and a good draw-in to the book. The illustrations within are lovely as well. Great choice of artist, and great pairing of imagery to the text.
Author excels at painting settings in the story. We get rich, lifelike settings with plenty of texture and sensory details. Creating a lifelike world for this story is a key to its success. Well done.
Author also does an excellent job with dialogue, differentiating the characters’ voices and varying the dialogue lengths for more realism. We get good emotion from the conversations as well. The message of "just believe it" is the centerpiece of faith, and it’s delivered very well here on page 115.
We get to know this little donkey well, and we feel deep grief when it’s said that he’s looking for a place to die. It’s so crushing, owing to the author’s excellent skill in creating empathy for and connection with his character. Very well done, subtly but powerfully. We never feel lost for emotion here, which makes this book an excellent experience.
