Afraid of School — Tara Fischer

Some very magical blueberries have washed up on the American shores. Where did they come from? A long time ago, as all Irish children know, tiny fairies created some magical blueberries. When eaten by tiny animals, they are magically able to speak to the tiny fairies. You must be tiny to hear them speak. It is said that children can hear them too! So look for the magical blueberry patches and you just might get to hear their stories too! "Afraid of School" is a story about a little hermit crab named Happy.
