Paul Gallico's the Small Miracle — Edward Cunningham
Selected for inclusion in the Best of the Best: Books for Great Kids and Teens list by the Chicago Public Library.
“Once there was an orphan boy named Pepino who lived in the mountain town of Assisi. His home was a stable and he shared it with his donkey, Violetta.”
One day Violetta gets sick and nothing seems to help. Pepino is sure that if he can just bring her into the crypt of Saint Francis, who loves all animals, she will get well. But can he convince the priest to let him try?
Paul Gallico's tale of one little boy's pilgrimage of faith has touched hearts the world over. Master storyteller Bob Barton's lyrical new adaptation, beautifully illustrated by Carolyn Croll, is the first picture book of Paul Gallico's classic story. It will introduce a whole generation of new readers to this endearing classic.
