*4.5 stars
I loved this book so much. I read in two sittings which is unusual for me as a slow reader. I was hooked straight away. I found this so lovely yet sad. I had alot of emotions. The only thing that didn't lead it to a 5 star was the ending. Although it was lovely and sweet, I was left with quite a few questions. Other than that, would highly reccomend.

One bright spring morning in the woods of France, a soldier, blinded by the war, is found by a little girl named Coco, and her older sister Marcelle. In return for their kindness, the soldier tells the sisters marvellous tales, each story connected to the keepsake he carries in his pocket: a perfect, tiny silver donkey. As the days pass and they struggle in secret to help the soldier reach home, Coco and Marcelle learn the truth behind the silver donkey, and what the precious object means: honesty, loyalty, and courage. This is a joyful and enchanting novel for all ages.
