A beautiful, empowering story about the impact of literacy in
underprivileged communities, based on a real bookmobile program in
Tegucigalpa, Honduras.
Luis's favorite day of the week is Monday, the day the bookmobile comes
to his neighborhood. In Villa Nueva, sad stories can gather like dark,
stormy clouds. But at the bookmobile, Luis hears stories that burst with
life, laughter, and color. Maybe today will bring a song or a puppet
show! He might even get to pick a book to read on his own. Every new
Monday fills Luis and his neighbors with a joy they can't help but bring
back home.
Co-written by the director of JustWorld International's bookmobile
program in Tegucigalpa, Colorful Mondays is an inspiring celebration of
the ways books and learning can bring joy to a community. Illustrated in
captivating swirls of color, this uplifting book highlights the strength
of disadvantaged children and the creativity of those who help them
imagine a better future.
