You can't have too many good books: Every child who received a bookcase also received a nice big bunch of books.

     Like almost every other school in America, Comanche Intermediate Center is usually closed on Sunday.
    Not last Sunday.
    Comanche's doors swung wide that day. Cars lined the sidewalk in front of the school, and parents climbed up and down the front steps lugging large rectangular wooden objects. Children skipped along beside them, waving brightly colored books, while teenaged brothers hefted big plastic bags into the back seats of waiting cars.
    If the children waving books above their heads seemed way too young to be Intermediate Center students - well, that's because they were.
