I have a science, and fact loving kid, she loves spouting out facts. This week she informed me that she needs the libraries to open back up so that she can get more science facts and animal books so she can learn more and give provide us with new and interesting facts. These books are perfect for us, I want to introduce my kids to books on amazing women that can encourage them to do whatever they want.
