"Bucky, The Little Desert Donkey" is a creative children's story written by 89 year old Elizabeth Griswold Abbott. The story is a wonderful narrative between an elderly donkey and his grandson, little Bucky Donkey. Bucky is sad and needs assurance that he is somebody and that he is blessed to live in the spacious and beautiful desert. Abbott, an author and former school teacher, writes this story to teach children that they are all special, unique and important. She explains how God created the world and its inhabitants. Then God declared that all of his creations were GOOD. She documents with biblical stories including the birth of Jesus, Moses leading his people through the desert, Palm Sunday and John the Baptist.
