Waiting for the Biblioburro by Monica Brown (English) Hardcover Book

Description: Waiting for the Biblioburro by Monica Brown Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description When a man brings to a remote village two burros, Alfa and Beto, loaded with books the children can borrow, Anas excitement leads her to write a book of her own as she waits for the BibliBurro to return. Includes glossary of Spanish terms and a note on the true story of Columbias BiblioBurro and mobile libraries in other countries. Publisher Description Ana loves stories. She often makes them up to help her little brother fall asleep. But in her small village there are only a few books and she has read them all. One morning, Ana wakes up to the clip-clop of hooves, and there before her, is the most wonderful sight: a traveling library resting on the backs of two burros-all the books a little girl could dream of, with enough stories to encourage her to create one of 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 wait for the BiblioBurro. A portion of the proceeds from sales of this book was donated to Luis Sorianos BiblioBurro program.
