Biblioburro: A True Story from Colombia by Jeanette Winter

5.0

---

Another book to inspire young readers. This story can help students get excited about reading. If one man can think so highly about books and spread the joy then surely there is something in books for everyone! I think this would be a good book to read at the beginning of the year, perhaps in first grade, to inspire students to want to read. Letting the students know that it is based on a true story will only motivate them more. Knowing there was actually a man in Colombia bringing books to children from far away can instill a curiosity to find out what's so great about books.
