Digging for Words: José Alberto Gutiérrez and the Library He Built by Angela Burke Kunkel

4.0

A very cool and inspiring picture book about a real life garbageman-turned-librarian. The story of José Alberto Gutiérrez, who collected books he found on his garbage truck route and turned them into a library for the children of his barrio, is framed by the story of a young boy named José who loves to visit that library and disappear into stories. Nice artwork and an author's note with more facts about JAG's life. He went on to create a foundation that provides books nationwide!
