A timid donkey teaches his friends that he does not like rough play. This story was inspired by the Aesop’s fable "The Ass and the Lion’s Skin" and is told through pictures that highly match the text. The text is in English and Hindi. The English text is written at the 3rd grade level. Information about Uttar Pradesh and animal conservation is included at the end of the book. The Hindi translation, by Ms. Neeraj Jain, is a natural native speaker retelling of the same story using the pictures. The beautiful digital art was produced by Edward C. Rooks, a wildlife illustrator and naturalist.
