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 librariansbring 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.

All around the world, children wait for books.

So....         

            booklovers' cross seas,

            trekup narrow trails,

            downsteep, rocky paths,

            overswift rivers,

            andthrough dark forests.

            Theyjourney by foot,

            onsturdy animals,

            andwith unique vehicles,

            deliveringbooks to children.
