In this story farm animals come to life in a way that helps the reader to imagine beyond the obvious in understanding everyone’s value measured by unconditional love.</p><p>Starting off EO is a young lonely and sad donkey. Seemingly <em>easy pickings</em> for bullies. Three years go by before his sister Stymie is born. In helping his mother care for Stymie he develops a new attitude of joy and happiness in sharing love even offering forgiveness to those who have caused him past hurts.</p><p>EO and Stymie become best friends—whether working playing laughing or praying. Stymie’s presence affects considerable positive differences in EO’s life. With the new loving confidence EO feels he and Stymie begin to make positive changes throughout the farm and in the farm characters. The animals once so disposed to bullying begin to change their ways.</p><p>This is a feel-good happy story with a surprise ending. Just remember <em>prayers up blessings down</em>. May you likewise be blessed by being a blessing to others.</p>
