A determined little burro earns the loyalty and affection of everyone he encounters in this classic story from Newbery Award–winning author Marguerite Henry, now in a gorgeous hardcover gift edition.

Long ago, a lone little burro roamed the high cliffs of the Grand Canyon and touched the hearts of all who knew him: a grizzled old miner, a big-game hunter, even President Teddy Roosevelt. Named Brighty by the prospector who befriended him, he remained a free spirit at heart. But when a ruthless claim-jumper murdered the prospector, loyal Brighty risked everything to bring the killer to justice.

Brighty’s adventures have delighted generations of readers, and he has become the symbol of a joyous way of life. Some people say that you can even see his spirit roving the canyon on moonlit nights—forever wild, forever free.

I have not read or listened to a Marguerite Henry book yet that I have not totally enjoyed. Brighty is such a cool donkey. Many lessons can be learned from Brighty.

This was a favorite of my childhood. It was made magical when combined with a trip to the Grand Canyon. The tradition continues, and it is now a favorite of my children.

Brightly of the Grand Canyon was my one of my favorite books I read as a child, and have reread it more times than I can remember. I fell in love with little Brighty and donkeys because of this book, and have loved donkeys ever since! This book paints a beautiful picture of the Grand Canyon, and I long to visit there and walk on some of the same trails Brighty did long ago. If you love colorful characters in a beautifully written story for all ages, you will love this book.

One of my childhood favorites!
