Francesca and her Mamma and Papa live on a farm in Italy with chickens, sheep and a much-loved donkey named Asinella. The sheep graze high up on a hill and Asinella protects the sheep while they are grazing. In the spring, Papa and Francesca go up the hill to bring Asinella and the sheep home. Eight baby lambs have been born! They are too little to walk down the hill by themselves. How will they get home? Francesca has an idea and she solves the problem with the help of Asinella. Based on true events, Asinella The Nanny Donkey is a story for all ages about creativity, love and caring for animals.
