Book That Kibo Wrote (The)
by Mariana Ruiz Johnson
Age Range: 6-8
“Like he did every evening, Kibo sat down to write. He wrote about the red sky of the savanna, the silhouettes of the birds, the buzz of the bugs. He wrote so much that he realized he had written a whole book.”
Our words are powerful, whether we know it or not. In The Book That Kibo Wrote, Kibo is a typical rhino who has a special affinity for his savanna. It’s no wonder why, with the vivid warm colours in the illustrations by French author and illustrator Mariana Ruiz Johnson.
In this touching book written by Johnson and translated into English by Lawrence Schimel, Kibo’s story travels all around the world and his words are meaningful in different ways to each reader. “A book from far away, a book that had traveled so far to reach him and share its stories. The book that Kibo wrote.”
For any young aspiring writer (or any young admirer of words), The Book That Kibo Wrote is the perfect read to represent just how far words can go.
