Saving Winslow

In this sweet little story, Sharon Creech, Newbery-winning author of Walk Two Moons, tells a story of a boy and the donkey he saved.  Louie immediately gets attached to a newborn donkey, frail and unlikely to survive.  Despite warnings not to get attached, he does.  He names it Winslow and his love and care saves the donkey.  Nora, a new friend, starts showing up more often and comes out of her shell because of Winslow.  But when the neighbor starts complaining, Louie is faced with a very difficult decision.  This was a beautiful, sweet story about over and friendship, and a bit of loss.  It is a 2019-20 Great Stone Face nominee.   (FIC CRE)
