****I, Crocodile, by Fred Marcellino

“Books and writers live on,
an endless stream of stories and storytellers
waiting for me to jump into the current of their words,
to swim through their images,
and to be swept away in their flow.
I cannot imagine life without books any more than I can imagine life without breathing.”

—Terry Brooks in Sometimes the Magic Works
