A Thank You Letter to My Homeschool

K-Gr 4–With each new day, homeschooling provides education and discovery inside a completely unique package. Whether families are adventuring in a local park, driving to a previously unknown destination, or inventing at home, homeschool serves as a setting in which children have the freedom to explore all that inspires them. In this book, two children give thanks to all they receive from their homeschool experience. From the flexibility of learning locales to the extra time children can spend on difficult material or passion projects, homeschool permits students to be true to themselves and their interests daily. The text itself is written in a poetic style that emphasizes the many facets of that version of education. For readers familiar with homeschooling, the book provides positive messages of support and encouragement, and for those less so, this story serves as a window into what life in a homeschool environment can be like. Accompanying the text are charming, childlike illustrations that depict characters in myriad settings and experiences. Muted hues and ample details make the images accessible for young children, and a variety of skin tones and abilities are represented within the illustrations. Even the endpapers are filled with artwork and imagery that complement the bulk of the narrative.
