Roshan the camel and his human Murad work hard to make a living in Pakistan. When Covid arrives, Murad has to find a new way to make a living - could being a mobile library fit the bill?
What a lovely story! A quick internet search will give you lots of videos to share with students. There are now at least 12 camel libraries around Pakistan. I love these picture books showing that access to books is so important that people have used all kinds of different means to get them to the people who want and need them. Do another search for unconventional mobile libraries to start!
