NZ folk and children’s singer songwriter Craig Smith created an international sensation with his Wonky Donkey song and story book.
Craig released his first kids’ album Not Just for Kids in 2007. The first track from this album – THE WONKY DONKEY – won the APRA NZ Children’s Song of the Year Award in 2008 and ended up making the top 25 songs in the children’s section of the ISC International Songwriting Contest – the world’s biggest song competition.
In 2018, the book was featured in a viral video of a grandmother laughing hysterically as she attempted to read it to her grandchild, leading to a surge in purchases of the book worldwide.
