\nOpen books cover our stars like shields.
\nHenriette forgets she is thirsty.
\nThe librarian, our gatekeeper,
\npretends we are children like any others.
\nAll afternoon, we read fairy tales.
\nIn our cave of bookshelves,
\nwe feel safe from the evil giants
\nmarching down the street.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.bookweekonline.com\/system\/images\/459\/original\/CBW-with-date.gif\")
