Kindergarten-Grade 2—One person can make a difference, and in this book Luis Soriano makes all the difference in the world. A Colombian schoolteacher with a passion for reading, he had so many books in his house that he decided to take them to children high up in the mountains where no libraries existed. With the help of two burros, Soriano made the mountainous trek each weekend to spread literacy where it was desperately needed. Winter has a gift for creating nonfiction that is accessible to and appeals to very young readers. The story is well told, and the colorful illustrations reflect the flora and fauna of Colombia. Back matter offers a bit more information about this generous and dedicated teacher who got books into the hands of so many people. Pair this title with Margaret Ruurs's My Librarian Is a Camel: How Books Are Brought to Children Around the World (Boyds Mills, 2005) for some great conversations. Winter ends the book by saying, "A small corner of the world is enriched." What a terrific way to help children think about their role in doing the same.—Joan Kindig, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA

From Booklist
*Starred Review* As in The Librarian of Basra: A True Story from Iraq (2005), Winter once again tells an inspiring story about an untraditional library, but here her setting—the lush jungles of Colombia rather than Basra’s war-torn Iraq—makes for a much lighter tale. After amassing piles of books, Luis, a voracious reader, dreams up a way to share his collection with “faraway villages.” He starts with two burros—one for himself, one for books—and heads off. Tough terrain and menacing bandits challenge him along the way, but at last he reaches a remote town, where he holds a story hour and loans titles to eager kids before returning home to his wife and reading late into the night. Winter’s captivating paintings evoke a South American feel in their brilliant palette and dense, green tropical scenes teeming with creatures, including large, orange-winged butterflies on every page. And Winter offers fresh, visual surprises. In a particularly imaginative scene, cartoon bubbles float over the children’s heads, carrying scenes from the story Luis reads aloud. Winter’s text is spare and streamlined, as usual, and here it has a particularly engaging, repetitive rhythm that builds into a lulling bedtime beat, as day turns into night. Both understated and full of life, this satisfying story is a vibrant reminder of the pleasures of books and the difference one individual can make. An author’s note fills in more about the real-life Luis and his biblioburros. Preschool-Grade 2. --Gillian Engberg

In 2000, Luis Soriana, a true book lover, started sharing his books with adults and children in remote mountain towns in northern Colombia. Winter’s account of his story targets young children and joins several other recent books about traveling libraries around the world. The author’s cheery acrylics present the flora and fauna of the tropical forest in bright colors and naïve style. Luis and his burros, appropriately named Alfa and Beto, make up the staff of Biblioburro (The Burro Library) with some help from Diana, Luis’s wife, who wants all the books out of her little house. There are problems: Sometime the burros don’t want to keep walking; a bandit (a cartoonlike figure) attacks but takes a book instead of money. The children, however, are entranced by not only the books but also Luis’s stories. One day, he even brings pig masks as he tells the story of “The Three Little Pigs,” and the surprise for readers is in the sketched-in pictorial speech balloons that tell the story without even mentioning its title. Sweet and uplifting. (author’s note) (Picture book. 5-8)--KIRKUS REVIEWS

Winter (Nasreen's Secret School) again roots a heartening and informative story in real life. Festive acrylic paintings transport readers to the lush Colombian jungle, where the wife of an avid reader grumbles that his extensive book collection is cluttering their house ("What are we going to do, eat books with our rice?"). To solve the problem, Luis builds crates and packs them with books that he delivers--via burro--to adults and children in remote parts of the country. During a trip to El Tormento, one of the burros refuses to leave a stream where they've paused ("The children are waiting for us!" Luis coaxes), and a bandit who leaps out from the shadows grudgingly accepts a book instead of silver. Upon his arrival, Luis distributes piglet masks for children to wear as he reads them a tale about three renowned little pigs. Tropical colors ignite Winter's art, which has a pleasant folk art feel and an almost feltlike texture (the pages are rich with songbirds and smiley-faced butterflies). Winter concludes with a brief profile of the actual Luis. - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, May 24, 2010

A great lesson and a charming story
By J.Prather
I always love to read stories that describe alternative libraries. They serve a great purpose in reminding kids that not all children have the same access to books that they do. I think this book does a fabulous job of getting youngsters to think of what it might be like if they didn't have a great big library to come to anytime they wanted. The story is simple, and accessible to very young children. The illustrations are bright, colorful and perfectly complement the spare text. Children will be fascinated by the scene of Luis getting stopped by a bandit, and then proceeding on to do a storytime - complete with masks! His refrain "the children are waiting" goes far in letting kids know the importance of his errands. The book has a great rhythm and works well as a read aloud to small groups or a one on one read. This will probably generate lots of questions, which is a great thing. A solid recommend for any preschooler.

Celebrating Books
By Kate Coombs
I live in L.A. and a lot of my students are Latino, so I'm always on the lookout for books that will show them the publishing world knows they're alive. I was pleased to come across this "true story from Colombia," as the subtitle puts it, about a man who rides a burro through the hills to the remote rural villages of his homeland, leading a second burro laden with books. Of course, children from any culture will get a kick out of the idea of a hay-eating bookmobile!
Winter explains in her endnote that Luis Soriano "started with a collection of 70 books that has grown to over 4,800, mostly from donations. Now the Biblioburro travels to the hills every weekend. Three hundred people, more or less, look forward to borrowing the books Luis brings."
Young readers will be drawn to the main text and Winter's illustrations, whose straightforward, folk art style are particularly well suited to telling about Luis and how he shares his passion for reading. The words of the story are also clean and simple: "Deep in the jungles of Colombia, there lives a man who loves books. His name is Luis. As soon as he reads one book, he brings home another. Soon the house is filled with books. His wife, Diana, grumbles."
But Luis eventually dreams up an idea for sharing his many books, and the burro-back library begins. The two burros are named Alfa and Beto, just in case you were wondering. The author manages to work in the burros' occasional stubbornness and an adventure with a bandit to show us what Luis's journeys are like. We also see him passing out pig masks, then sharing a familiar story about little pigs with some village children.
Now, hearing about Biblioburro, perhaps you're thinking of a very nice 2008 picture book called That Book Woman, by Heather Henson, with illustrations by David Small. That Book Woman tells the fictional story of the effect on a particular boy's life of one of the WPA's Packhorse Librarians, who rode around the mountains and valleys of the rural United States in the 1930's, carrying books on horseback. Obviously, the two books would make a terrific pairing.
Other picture books about librarians or libraries? A tall tale called Library Lil by Suzanne Williams and Steven Kellogg; Tomás and the Library Lady by Pat Mora and Raul Colón; The Library by Sarah Stewart and David Small; and the powerful, poignant Richard Wright and the Library Card by William Miller and Gregory Christie are a few I'll recommend. Oh, and how can I forget Jeanette Winter's own The Librarian of Basra: A True Story from Iraq, about saving books during the war in Iraq?
As we all know, books have a lot of competition these days when it comes to capturing kids' attention. But maybe hearing about how hard it is for some children to get their hands on a book, and about the trouble someone like Luis will go to in order to make that possible, will help book-rich kids take their story treasures a little more seriously.
