Little Free Libraries can be found from Minneapolis to El Paso, Canada to Brazil, Ireland to Pakistan, western Uganda to South Korea—in short, around the world. This global phenomenon began with one man named Todd in a small Wisconsin town who built a schoolhouse-shaped “library” as a tribute to his late mother, a teacher and lover of books. At first not even his neighbors paid much attention. This engaging informational picture book describes the perseverance of Todd and a friend who worked to garner interest in Little Free Libraries, and how the phenomenon slowly spread—first in Todd’s town, then in Wisconsin, then nationally, and finally around the world. It also shares stories of some of the places where Little Free Libraries have made a difference. The friendly narrative is set against distinctive acrylic illustrations suggesting paint on wood, while end matter includes more information about Little Free Libraries, founder Todd Bol and others along with a bibliography. (Ages 6–9)
