"As soon as he reads one book, he brings home another. Soon the house is filled with books."

Luis Soriano devours books one after the other, so I couldn't but read the true story of this inspiring man.
This story hits very close to home, and like Luis, I'm drowning in books yet I want more. And like Luis, I also really dream of one day starting a library of some sorts: maybe a tiny library outside my future family house (if I ever own one), or a bigger one inside a café...
The colourful and vibrant drawings were definitely a plus to how enjoyable this children's book is. So fresh. So inspiring and dear.
I personally wanted something more for the ending. It felt abruptly switched off.

if you enjoy my reviews, please feel free to buy me a coffee.
