Someone to Identify With

As a homeschool family of many, it seems inevitable that the littlest one will wonder aloud if there are other kids who are "homeschooled just like me". How comforted they feel after having listened to the story about a young girl named Teigen who is also educated at home. Teigen takes the reader through a day in her life. She explains the benefits of homeschooling such as being able to work at your own pace, or changing the schedule to fit in an interesting or spontaneous activity. The pages are adorned with hand-tinted photographs, which create an impression of stepping back in time. Every homeschooling family should own a copy of I Am a Home Schooler.

My son loves this book

We found this at the library and it is the only one of it's kind I have ever seen. There are many books about going to school and preschool written for children but so far this is the only one I've found just for homeschoolers. As we read this book my son kept piping in with "Hey, I do that." Although we know many homeschooling families and many of his friends are homeschooled, for some reason reading this in a book really excited him.

This is an enlightening book about a controversial subject!

A refreshing, insightful look at a day in the life of a homeschooler. The photography enhanced the lively style (and country life) of author, Julie Voetberg and her children. These are fortunate children, whose education includes the discovery of owl pellets (small blobs of bone and fur that the owl burps up after eating an animal) along a country path--the trail leading on to the library for books and science videos about owls. Fortunate children, indeed
