Hope this helps. :-DRebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09135613529782522372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822894759353679437.post-47366074376296445212017-12-19T12:23:20.596-05:002017-12-19T12:23:20.596-05:00I think I found the donkey photo on your site, Phi...I think I found the donkey photo on your site, Phil.

When the lady gives birth in a cave, she calls the donkey to her: “See what we have carried all this way, you and I.” A Christmas picture book rich in symbols of the feminine, with an author’s note at the end.beth cioffolettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09300116274007165612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822894759353679437.post-59018928852864533122017-12-16T19:49:40.848-05:002017-12-16T19:49:40.848-05:00the donkey does seem to be central to the story.
