Book Guide

On breathtaking mountains,
where coffee beans grow,
I carry my friends to the green hills below.
I drive through the Andes, so windy and steep.
Me llamo La Chiva. That's me! Beep, beep, beep!

Every morning, a colorful Colombian bus wakes up bright and early with an important job to do— to bring people into town to sell their goods at the local mercado. But when they run into trouble, it's going to take a collective effort to get back on their way.

With joyful, bouncing, rhyming text and bold and bright illustrations, I Am La Chiva! is a celebration of the places we go, the friends we meet along the way, and the vibrant power of community.
