Description

A remarkable tale of books and reading, now in a bilingual Spanish-English edition.
 
On most days, teacher and librarian Luis Soriano Bohórquez packs his two burros, Alfa and Beto, with books and makes his far more than mountains and through valleys to Talk over with children in far-flung villages in rural Colombia—concerned with the sake of literacy and culture. In keeping with the work of a remarkable man and his intrepid burros, this bilingual English and Spanish edition celebrates the affect that a special mobile library—referred to as the “biblioburro”—has had at the lives of real children.
 
In regards to the Creator:
