Hamor is not a handsome donkey, but he holds his head high. Every day, he takes Rabbi Moses Maimonides to the sultan’s palace, and he always listened to the rabbi’s musings. One day, a fine horse appears in the stable and announces that, to save time, he will be taking the rabbi to the palace from now on. Hamor sadly agrees that the fast horse will give the rabbi more time to write and think. The rabbi, however, soon returns to his old donkey whose slow ride was his only time for uninterrupted thinking all day. Hamor is quietly pleased to be reunited with the wise man. Could it be he taught his rider a lesson?

"This thought-provoking tale will be especially welcome as an introduction to Maimonides. A reminder that wisdom comes in different forms and from different sources."—Kirkus Reviews
"The large and colorful illustrations make this picture book a perfect pick for classroom story time. . . a book that can help open up a medieval world of wonder."—Children's Literature
"Can appeal to those looking for a dive into Jewish history, Judaic scholarship, and Sephardic culture, as well as those looking for the more universal messages of the value of connections with animals and the natural world, and the importance of taking time out of our busy days for thought and reflection." -
