Un esplendido e inspirador álbum ilustrado acerca de la vida de José Alberto Gutiérrez, un recolector de basura de Bogota, Colombia, que creó una biblioteca a partir de un libro que rescató de la basura mientras realizaba su ruta.

En la ciudad de Bogota, en el barrio La Nueva Gloria, viven dos Joses. Uno es un nino que suena con los sabados, dia en que el y otros ninos del barrio visitan el Paraiso, la biblioteca. El otro Jose es un recolector de basura. Desde el atardecer hasta el amanecer, escudrina las aceras de las calles por donde conduce entornando los ojos bajo la tenue luz en busca de tesoros escondidos... Libros! Algunos en pilas ordenadas, como a la espera de que Jose los descubra.

Otros requieren mas esfuerzo para ser encontrados. Desde que descubri el primer libro, Ana Karenina, Jose ha estado rescatando libros de la basura- libros gruesos, delgados, usados y casi nuevos, para ampliar la biblioteca que alberga en su casa. Y los sabados, ninos como el pequeno Jose corren hasta llegar al Paraiso y descubrir un mundo lleno de libros y magia.

Con un evocador texto de una autora debutante y llamativas ilustraciones de una prometedora ilustradora colombiana, esta es una celebraci n de perseverancia, de comunidades y del poder de los libros.
