Waiting for the Biblioburro is narrative nonfiction which is a story about real people and actual events. Scholars have read other narrative nonfictions in this module: Rain School and Thank You, Mr. Falker. Waiting for the Biblioburro is about a mobile library that journeys over mountains and through valleys to bring literacy and culture to rural Colombia, and to the children who wait for the BiblioBurro. The mobile library is a donkey that is used to carry the librarian and books to rural areas of Colombia. Scholars will begin to think about how they can collect information from different types of texts as they improve on their note taking skills.
