Sonlight has given my daughters such a love of books and history. They aren't afraid to ask provocative questions and impress me every day with their fund of knowledge. The curriculum is so comprehensive that I was nervous about handling day-to-day assignments our first year. But Sonlight has been a joy. There are so many opportunities to reinforce lessons with hands-on activities. Sonlight is so much fun that our daughters forget they're learning! In their second year of Sonlight fun, Dylan (6) and Bobbie (9) don saris from Southeast Asia while studying Core B's Peoples of the World.

Not only have we experienced the academic benefits of using Sonlight in our homeschool journey, we've also had the delight of watching this curriculum impact our children's character. When we began eight years ago, little did we know that the seeds planted by Sonlight's inspirational biographies and stories of diverse cultures would sprout up children who long to let God use their lives for His glory. Because of Sonlight, we're watching our children become more aware of the world around them, more sensitive to the needs of hurting people and more confident that God can, and will, use anyone willing to obey His call. Tatum (13) shares one of her Sonlight favorites with Josiah (3), AJ (5) and Greta (10).

"Sonlight is helping us cultivate loving ambassadors for Christ," writes Tanya S of Asia. "Sonlight's stories of world cultures help our children embrace the unique calling God has placed in their lives. The books give honor and credibility to our family's work as overseas gospel workers. Through her readings, my preschooler is learning to see beauty and value in the unique qualities of all people. I see it in her actions and hear it in her prayers. It's such a relief knowing I can trust Sonlight's materials and content to be appropriate and Christ-centered. Being well organized, beautifully illustrated and infectiously fun is just icing on the cake!" Naomi (4) and Keira (2) are exploring Core P4/5 in their first year of homeschooling. They love to share their Sonlight books with Jiajia (5) and other local friends.
