In the vein of his popular picture books Grandfather Buffalo and Raccoon on His Own, Jim Arnosky’s Little Burro features a lovable new character who finds out that trying new things does not have to be scary.

Little Burro’s canyon has everything she needs—it’s breezy and cool on a hot day, and warm and cozy at night. One day, her band of burros decides to travel to the lake. She does not want to go, but finally follows when her mother calls out to her. When they arrive, Little Burro is surprised to find that the lake is just as nice as her canyon—and even more fun!
