There were lots of donkeys, and some of them had some very funny names.
There was Candy and Plum, who were two sweet little brown donkeys... Hula and Hoop... they were brother and sister.
There was one called Floppy, who Kai thought must be named after their very long floppy ears.
Then there was Spot, who was a small white donkey with a big brown spot on their back.
There was Pixie and Tinky, and Sausage and Lolly... and another called Brainy, who had a very large head, so must have been very clever... and finally there was Lola!
The first in a series of Kai's adventures, where Kai visits the Donkey Sanctuary. There Kai meets the wonderful and mischievous donkey Lola, whom might just turn out to have some similarities to a magical wish granting donkey, Peanut, that Kai had read about!
A lovely bedtime read, and suitable for children (and parents) of all ages.
Kai has been scripted as a gender neutral protagonist in order to allow readers to use their imagination in how they wish to picture the character of Kai, as well as to gently introduce the concept of gender neutral pronouns in children's literature from a younger age.
