Little Libraries, Big Heroes | Miranda Paul
12 posts | 5 read
From an award-winning author and illustrator, the inspiring story of how the Little Free Library organization brings communities together through books, from founder Todd Bol's first installation to the creation of more than 75,000 mini-libraries around the world.Todd and his friends love heroes. But in school, Todd doesn't feel heroic. Reading is hard for him, and he gets scolded for asking too many questions. How will he ever become the kind of hero he admires? Featuring stunning illustrations that celebrate the diversity of the Little Free Library movement, here is the story of how its founder, Todd Bol, became a literacy superhero. Thanks to Todd and thousands of volunteers--many of whom are kids--millions of books have been enjoyed around the world. This creative movement inspires a love of reading, strengthens communities, and provides meeting places where new friendships, ideas--and heroes!--spring to life. --Author's note, bibliograpy

This was interesting but a bit long. As a librarian I knew most of the information but it was nice to see it put out for kids. I especially like how Todd was an “everyday hero” instead of a “super” one. The illustrations are okay, but not in a style I gravitate to, but kids will find them interesting.

The pictures are fun, the writing is clear but the story is full of inspiration. This book would be great to read to small children up thru adults to introduce them to the history and future of the Little Free Library movement.

This book is such a sweet and wonderful tribute to Todd Bol, creator founder of Little Free Library.org. As a steward to the two Heartland Little Free Libraries, I had to buy this book as soon as it came out. I love the story! And look how well it matches the room I created for my grandkids! The theme of the room is reading and books and woodland animals. The book almost blends right into the beddng lol 😅😊🥰

We visited friends in Caledonia, MI and spotted this Little Free Library. Kam and I stopped to check it out. It was so crammed with children‘s books that we could barely see the covers. I tried searching for it on littlefreelibrary.org but it doesn‘t seem to be registered. I felt bad that I didn‘t have any books to leave. I‘ve decided to keep a handful of books in my car to donate to any #littlefreelibrary that I stumble upon.

BethM Great idea! 5y
Lreads So cute! I hope his arm is healing well! 💕 5y
