Waiting for the Biblioburro
FROM SARAH:
In a small village in Colombia, a young girl waits for the man who brings books across mountains and valleys to readers like her. This darling picture book is an homage to the hard-working people who brought stories to remote areas all over the world.
If you love this story, be sure to check out Waxwing’s beautiful picture book, Books Up the Mountain, the story of a woman who brought books to rural Appalachia during the Great Depression.
FROM THE PUBLISHER:
Inspired by the heroic efforts of real-life librarian Luis Soriano, award-winning picture book creators Monica Brown and John Parra introduce readers to the mobile library that journeys over mountains and through valleys to bring literacy and culture to rural Colombia, and to the children who wait for the BiblioBurro.
