The book, which was published in 2009 and illustrated by Katz Cowley, tells the story of a donkey with a unique physical feature that sets him apart from other donkeys. The humorous and playful nature of the story, combined with Smith’s catchy tune, has made “Wonky Donkey” a perennial favorite among children and parents alike.
