This bilingual Spanish-English edition of “Waiting for the Biblioburro/Esperando el Biblioburro” by Monica Brown is a delightful celebration of the power of books and the determination of one man to bring literacy to remote villages in Colombia. Based on the inspiring true story of Luis Soriano Bohórquez, a librarian who traveled with his two burros, Alfa and Beto, to deliver books to children in the Colombian countryside, this book offers a heartwarming glimpse into a world where access to literature was a rare privilege.
Brown’s lyrical prose, accompanied by John Parra’s vibrant illustrations, transports readers to the rugged landscapes of the Colombian hills, where Soriano’s “biblioburro” (library donkey) became a beacon of hope and knowledge for eager young minds. This very good condition copy invites readers to embark on a journey that celebrates the transformative power of education, perseverance, and the unbreakable bond between books and their readers.
