Books Travel the World

A touching and compelling book about how some librarians travel the world in impossible ways by boat, donkey, elephant, and more hoping to change a child’s life, by handing them a book.

From Colombia to Kenya and Syria to Thailand, real life librarians bring books to children who don’t have easy access to a library. This creative non-fiction tale shows how librarians in 10 countries travel far and wide to deliver books to hungry readers without local access to libraries. A wonderful way to educate readers on the often overlooked, heroic lives of librarians.
