A Packhorse Librarian Story
Readers will be amazed at the packhorse librarians' dedication to delivering and sharing books and reading material to the people in Appalachia in Kentucky. The words are poetic and lyrical with alliteration scattered throughout. The illustrations are wide in size, creating a feel of sweeping terrain. I always look at the end pages --I love how the left one depicts fall while the right one displays winter (the seasons where the book starts and then ends).
The author's note offers interesting information about this service.
*Highly recommend. (It's temporarily out of stock on Amazon) Published by Waxwing Books-Sarah Mackenzie's (from Read Aloud Revival) business.
-Borrowed from the library.
