Character Interview with the Donkey from Journey To The Cross by Shane Cloonan

We’re thrilled to be talking to the donkey from Shane Cloonan’s book  “Journey to the Cross”.

Thank you for your interview, donkey.  Can you tell us your story?      

Well not to brag or anything, but I was a key player in Jesus’ life.  I was chosen to go on a journey that was the most important event of my life…the most important event in history, the birth of Jesus and his crucifixion, God’s plan.


What would I love most about you?                                                                                                                                 
My loyalty and humility.


Where do you go when you are angry?                                                                                                                            
My quiet stable.


What is your most treasured possession?                                                                                                                         
The cross on my back which represents my journey in Christ’s life, and the love I showed him.


What is the trait you most not like about yourself?                                                                                                        
My stubbornness.


Do you think the author portrayed you accurately?                                                                                                       
Absolutely.   He felt all of my emotions.


I’m opening up your cabinet.  What foods do I see?                                                                                                       
Grass, hay and grain.  Maybe a few oats but they are really fattening.


Who is your best friend?                                                                                                                                                     
Jesus.


Do you have children?                                                                                                                                                         
Yes, 3, Two boys and one girl.



What’s you idea of a perfect meal?                                                                                                                                   
Fresh cut alfalfa.
