<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This story of friendship has crossed borders and touched millions of hearts.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Baldomera, the donkey, became famous worldwide when a video of her reunion with her owner after three months of confinement due to COVID-19 went viral. The colorful illustrations and simple yet playful text make this a perfect read-aloud for story time.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Lives disrupted by the pandemic are not limited to us humans, but the Covid virus has taken its toll on the animal world, too, as beautifully portrayed in <i> The Story of Baldomera</i>---<b>Vermont Country Sampler</b><br><br>This is a great story to demonstrate love and loyalty between animals and their human companions.---<b>Netgalley-Reviewer</b><br><br>This would be a wonderful read aloud for kindergarten and up especially if you share the video, too.--<b>Star Review. Youth Services Book Review</b><br><br>I still think the video is absolutely adorable, and everyone needs to see it. The author also includes a QR code on the back cover of the book so you can watch the video after reading the book! ---<b>NetGalley-Reviewer</b><br><br>This is a timely story that will warm the hearts of children everywhere. It touches on an array of human emotions: fear, sadness, and grief, anticipation, excitement, and love. The illustrations are precious and masterfully complement the simple, yet meaningful text. The words are written at approximately a second to early third-grade reading level, and though some youngsters older than eight will enjoy this, the target audience is youth ages four to eight. The author includes a user-friendly scan on the back for easy access to the video of Ismael's homecoming. It's a perfect follow-up to this sweet tale.---<b>Manhattan Book Review</b><br><br>This picture book is inspired by true events, when the author was in quarantine for months during the Covid-19 pandemic and was unable to visit his donkey friend in the country. The story is sweet and emotional, and an adorable animal friendship that will tug at your heart.--<b>Goodreads</b><br><br>https: //edition.cnn.com/videos/world/2020/05/21/man-donkey-reunion-spain-eg-orig.cnn<br>
