Tulip, Bluebell, Orchid and Daisy are learning all about science this summer, and they want your help! From June 14 to Aug. 26, you can write the Library Fairies a letter, and they will write back. Ask them a science question (like "why do fish have gills?" or "why does the moon have bumps?"), and they will answer! The fairies also love to get drawings and pictures.
