“After eating candies there remains nothing. But after reading a book you will have it in your head.”

-Dashdondog Jamba, author, poet, and founder of Mongolia's mobile library

i purchased several of his books while in UB, including when will the mobile library come?, a children's book about the travels he and his family make to bring books to young people in the countryside.
