In "Waiting for the Biblioburro," a young girl named Ana lives in a remote Colombian village, where access to books is scarce. She dreams of reading and learning, but the closest library is far away. One day, she hears about the biblioburro, a traveling library on the backs of two donkeys, bringing books to children in remote areas. As she eagerly awaits its arrival, Ana's hopes for adventure and knowledge grow. The story beautifully captures the power of literature and the joy of learning, showcasing the transformative impact of books in a child's life.
