Colombia and South America

This week, we'll meet a girl named Ana, one of the many children who anxiously awaits the arrival of Alfa and Beto, the two burros her bibliotecaria (librarian) uses to bring books to their village in Columbia.  Her excitement leads her to write a book of her own as she waits for the Biblioburro to return.  Then we'll learn how to make your own book,  so we can be authors like Ana!  You can also scroll down to see a video of the real Biblioburro and learn more about Ana's beautiful country, Columbia!
