Description

Ana loves stories. She regularly makes them as much as lend a hand her little brother go to sleep. But in her small village there are just a few books and she has read them all. One morning, Ana wakes as much as the clip-clop of hooves, and there before her, is the most wonderful sight: a traveling library resting at the backs of two burros‑the entire books a little girl could dream of, with enough stories to encourage her to create one in all her own.
 
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 look forward to the BiblioBurro.
 
A portion of the proceeds from sales of this book was once donated to Luis Soriano’s BiblioBurro program.
