(2) PS Illustrated by John Parra. For Ana, the arrival of a burro-riding librarian in her remote village is a joyful event. Impatiently awaiting the bibliotecario's next visit, Ana reads avidly, writes, and creates her own book. Parra's acrylics portray a sunny village with cheerful children engaged in imaginative play. Spanish words (defined in context and in a glossary) add a useful dimension, as does an author's note.

(3) K-3 Luis loves books; in fact his house is filled with them. So many books ought to be shared, which is what Luis does. With the help of two burros, Luis takes his stories to the rural villages of Colombia. Winter's acrylic paint with pen-and-ink illustrations are reliably wonderful. The book not only honors its real-life subject but is also a love letter to librarians.
