The Donkey's Gone teaches us a very important lesson in a fun way. I recommend it for kids and their parents!--Maz Jobrani The Donkey's Gone is a humorous and deep story by the beautiful teacher Rumi. --Omid Safi, Professor of Islamic Studies; Founder, Illuminated Courses and Tours The Donkey's Gone recasts for children a story from Rumi's Masnavi. The tale is charmingly retold and very attractively illustrated; everything important in the original story is there. The book is like a tasty, and quietly healthy, little treat, for children and grown-ups alike, and I feel sure that Rumi would have enthusiastically approved.--Dick Davis, emeritus Professor of Persian, Ohio State University
