But a group of determined women changed that.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey rode horses and mules over steep mountain trails, carrying saddlebags full of stories to readers who were waiting eagerly for them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this lyrical story by Caroline Starr Rose, Book Woman mounts her surefooted mule to traverse the rugged terrain and deliver books to isolated mountain readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe carries something for everyone. Old and young eagerly await her visit. Blowing blizzards, swelling streams, and slippery slopes can't keep the faithful Book Woman from her route.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis picture book is a celebration of the transformative power of books and the dedication librarians have to ensuring access to literacy for all.","brand":"Author's Republic","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":67602550784304,"sku":"BD2bfx","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/2bfx-Square-cover.jpg?v=1787701838","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-2bfx","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
