My Librarian Is a Camel: How Books Are Brought to Children Around the World

Reach for this book when you want to broaden your child's perspective on the world or if they have started to view their own education and resources as a chore rather than a privilege. This photo essay provides a window into the lives of children in thirteen different countries, from Mongolia to Kenya, illustrating the extraordinary lengths librarians and communities go to in order to deliver books. While the primary subject is literacy, the deeper themes are those of gratitude, global citizenship, and the universal hunger for knowledge. It is perfect for elementary-aged children who are curious about how other people live and will leave them with a renewed appreciation for their local library and the simple act of holding a book. The real-life stories and vibrant photographs make global concepts feel personal and accessible.
