Synopsis

Year after year, a migration wave hits Chinese cities with families searching for a better living environment. Their children rarely have access to books, nor do their overworked parents are available to spend precious storytelling moments with them.

An oversized truck, converted into a mobile library and equipped with more than 5,000 books, was thus set up. Having visited more than 20 cities in eastern and southern China, this traveling library has offered the joy of reading to some 30,000 children.
