Wee Donkey's Treasure Hunt
If you had one wish, Grandad, what would it be?
Wee Donkey's grandad would love to travel around Ireland, but his old knees are too wobbly.
So Wee Donkey sneaks off on a great big adventure,
to bring back all the best things she can find!
This wonderful story by Erika McGann, was a total joy to illustrate.

The thoughtfulness and pleasure Wee Donkey has in doing something special for her Grandad is put forth in a light-hearted rhyming text is a joy to read alongside the colourful and bright illustrations that bring the action and locations to life.
