An orchard you take on your lap
A book is a companion who sleeps
Only when you are asleep…
A book is a tree that lives long,
And bears delicious and abundant fruit,
That is easy to pick and perfectly ripe,
At all times of the year.
—Abu Uthman Amr ibn Bahral-Jahiz, a.k.a. al-Jahiz, from the introduction to Nancy Farmer’s “Clever Ali,” illustrated by Gail De Marcken (Orchard Books, $17.99.)
