Description

Monroe's story of Diego the Donkey is relatable to both young and old. Every child (and animal) wants to feel a connection with others and a sense of belonging. Liddiment's illustrations bring the animals to life. Every child will love to echo each barnyard voice and nestle in at night knowing Diego finds what he was looking for all along!

Reviews

"Diego the Donkey is a beautifully illustrated book that deals with a feeling we all experience - wanting to belong. It is especially confusing for young ones. Diego travels through the barnyard looking for a friend to play with, wanting to be included and listening for a voice like his. Reassuringly, after introducing your young reader to all the barnyard animals with Diego, he finds his forever friend."
-Christin Keirstead

"Diego the Donkey is a heartfelt book that explores how Diego the Donkey finds where he belongs amongst his new family of farmyard animals. My kindergarten students love acting out the sounds that each animal makes as Diego looks for a friend throughout the book. There is something so sweet about Diego and Duncan finding their forever friend within each other and my students love listening and reading along to this story. Diego the Donkey is a book that reminds us just how important it is to feel a sense of belonging."
