ABOUT THE BIBLIOBURRO

The BIBLIOBURRO is a traveling library in COLOMBIA where the owner travels on the backs of two donkeys, Alfa and Beto. Fitting his donkeys with packsaddles that were originally made to carry water, Luis Soriano, a Spanish teacher in rural Colombia, started carrying a mobile library of books to remote areas where children didn’t have access to books. The book Biblioburro by Jeanette Winter tells the true story of the biblioburro. our Reception children worked every Friday on this project creating their own ‘BIBLIOBURROS’, which all contained their favourite books.  As you can see, each donkey is as unique as the child that reated them.  I think that they are all amazing and I couldn’t possibly choose a favourite!
