1952 First Edition book. Previous library book. Look at pictures. Book overview A story for children beautifully illustrated in Color with Double page, Full page and other Illustrations by Leo Politi, about a Gray Burro who was a stray and looking for something...he didn't know quite what. But he looked for it all over Ecuador, from the banana trees, through the city of Guay-a-quil, down the rivers, and up the high mountains, until he found the "something" he'd been searching for so long. A wonderful collaboration between a Newbery Medal winning author and a Caldecott Medal winning illustrator.
