Waiting for the Biblioburro/Esperando el Biblioburro: (Spanish-English bilingual edition)

A remarkable tale of books and reading, now in a bilingual Spanish-English edition.
Â
On most days, teacher and librarian Luis Soriano BohÃ³rquez packs his two burros, Alfa and Beto, with books and makes his way over mountains and through valleys to visit children in far-flung villages in rural Colombiaâ€”all for the sake of literacy and culture. Based on the work of a remarkable man and his intrepid burros, this bilingual English and Spanish edition celebrates the impact that a special mobile libraryâ€”called the â€œbiblioburroâ€â€”has had on the lives of real children.
