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.
