About this book

Español

La señora de los libros

Cal vive en lo alto de los montes Apalaches y prefiere ayudar a su padre en las tareas del campo antes que sentarse a leer un libro. Pero una bibliotecaria itinerante insiste en subir la montaña a caballo, bajo lluvia o nieve, cargando un saco lleno de libros para él y su familia. Inspirado en la historia real de las bibliotecarias a caballo, este entrañable libro ilustrado celebra la perseverancia, la bondad y el poder transformador de la lectura, mostrando cómo la dedicación de una persona puede cambiar para siempre la vida de un niño reacio a leer.

English

That Book Woman

Cal lives high in the Appalachian Mountains and would much rather help his father with chores than sit down with a book. But a determined traveling librarian keeps riding up the mountain on horseback, rain or snow, bringing a sack full of books for Cal and his family. Based on the true story of the Pack Horse Librarians, this heartfelt picture book celebrates persistence, kindness, and the transformative power of reading, showing how one woman's dedication can change a reluctant reader's life forever.
