"That Book Woman" by Heather Henson

Cal wondered, who was that woman who kept coming to the house on her horse and why was she delivering books?  She came in the summer, she came in the winter, she even came during storms - nothing seemed to stop her.  His sister, Lark, was always so happy when she arrived because she loved to read the books that the woman brought, but Cal was different.  He didn't like to read or rather he didn't know how to read until one day things changed.  Find out what changed for Cal and how he was able to give the book woman the best gift of all.

Preview questions: Who arrives on her horse every few weeks?  Do you think Cal was impressed by the book woman and why?
