Hakim the donkey has knitted a jumper for his friend Daisy, which he is determined to deliver despite the thick fog. With his grounded personality, Hakim is able to ignore the doom-mongering of a goat who warns him about monsters up the mountain. The clear message is that we should question our preconceived notions. With sparse text and illustrations which are very effective in showing that things are not necessarily as they appear, this is a fun picture book to read together with kids.
