The South African writer and illustrator team, Niki and Jude Daly, create a story about a farmer, his wife Beauty, his son Goodwill, and their donkey Jackson. They live in an unnamed African village. Jackson, heavily laden with farm produce, climbs the hill with the farmer to get to the market, as he has done every market morning of his life. One day Jackson stops half way up the hill and refuses to budge until the farmer's son, Goodwill, arrives to help with a lesson of the heart.
