A donkey follows the music

Ugo is a farm-animal story built around a conflict between a familiar duty and an irresistible love of dancing. Trained to carry grain along the market trail, Ugo keeps breaking from the path when the trees’ music moves him. The farmer’s attempt to keep him on course brings ShinShin the monkey into the story as a guide. After an accident changes Ugo’s relationship with the trail and its music, the narrative turns toward his search for a place in the world. The description also notes lush paper-cut illustrations, making visual art part of the book’s presentation.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in animal stories
  • Young readers who enjoy stories about dancing and following a familiar route
  • Families seeking a picture book with paper-cut illustrations

Ugo's great big donkey heart loves to dance.

Ugo has been trained from a young age to follow the trail to the market, carrying the farmer's grain to sell. He knows it's important to stay on the path. But when the music of the trees calls to him, he just can't resist the urge to drop the grain and...

Shake! Spin! Stomp!

To tame Ugo's wandering spirit, the farmer trains ShinShin the monkey to be his guide. But when an accident befalls Ugo on this well-worn path, the music fades away, and he must dig deep inside himself to find his true place in the world.

With lush paper-cut illustrations by Pura Belpr
