This creation of an interactive book that opened the reader’s mind to the joy of creating a place of

Guest Post by Jim Weiss Storytelling as Teaching Tools Stories are spectacularly successful learning tools. Many studies show that children whose parents tell and/or read stories to them from an early age turn out to be better readers and students later on.

A Year in the Secret Garden is a treasure trove of activities, crafts, games, recipes and information all related to the classic children’s book, The Secret Garden, bringing to life this wonderful book to a new generation of readers.

What a beautiful book! The Waldorf Homeschool Handbook has given me much food for thought by reading it. I love it and even though we have already been homeschooling for almost 8 years now with children in highschool, it has been wonderfully refreshing and has encouraged me to relook at how we go about our homeschooling journey.
The Fox Diaries is a beautiful collection that brings nature and beauty to life with each turning of the page. I highly recommend this lovely book for adults and children of all ages.
