In the village of Palenque, almost nobody knows how to read, but the shopkeeper Señor Velandia is one of the few who does. When Gina starts to receive letters, she thinks they must be love letters, and her little sister decides to learn how to read them. This is a delightful tale from well-known author Irene Vasco about literacy in a remote Colombian village, with illustrations by Juan Palamino (Ilustración Iberoamericano prize and SM prize, Bologna)
