His school day might include robotics with friends, silent study time, planting seeds at the community garden, and more. One thing is for sure: homeschool is not boring!

A Thank You Letter to My Homeschool celebrates the unique learning opportunities and life experiences this popular lifestyle offers. A celebration of homeschool in all its forms, it's the perfect book for every family who homeschools and those who may be considering the lifestyle

Homeschool is not just at home or in a classroom.
It takes me on adventures — Here. There. Everywhere.
I'm thankful for all the ways homeschool helps me grow.
Sowing, waiting, wondering, and watching.
Collecting and counting.
Mixing, matching, discovering.
I'm thankful for the time it gives me to invent.
Building up, tearing down, and starting all over again.
Asking questions and unlocking new answers.
