    About this ebook

    This is the true story of a family in the early 1900's on both sides of the Mexican American border. Before the days of vaccinations and antibiotics tuberculosis took the life of the mother of four young children and left the youngest boy quite ill. After the remarriage of their father the four children travel to Mexico to live with their new mother. There Johnny, the youngest boy, is given donkey milk which restores him to health. He learns to nurse directly, along with the young foal Nico, who becomes his best friend and constant companion. This charmingly illustrated remembrance of a young boy's adventures with his donkey, as told by his sister, captures the beauty of their simple country life together.
