It was a relief to find a curriculum that had already compiled the best of the best. Before Sonlight, I made so many trips to the library to find books that enforced our learning, often to be disappointed with the selections. We love spending time together while using the Sonlight approach of living books to teach history and culture. Here, it had been raining for days and days when my daughter built a blanket fort and snuggled up with her book, Pippi Longstocking. Before long her brother joined her, and then Daddy came home. Beyla (7) and Ozzie (6) are enjoying their first year of Sonlight.

"Thank you Sonlight for instilling a love of reading in my daughter! It is a daily occurrence to find Alanna (6) dressed up as the Sonlight characters we are reading about in Sonlight B. We love seeing her imaginative play that comes from her school books." As they prepare to start their third year of Sonlight, Emily B of Fort Worth, TX joyfully proclaims that they are Sonlighters for life.

Sara L of Grandview, MO writes: "We just completed our very first year of homeschooling! I'm so grateful we found Sonlight. It brings me to tears of gratitude when I think about all the special moments we had learning together. Even our 5-year-old who was not required to participate in school this year wanted to jump in and learn along with us." When she asked her children to choose a book for a photo to commemorate their first year of Sonlight, they voted unanimously for Homer Price. Micah (8) and Selah (7) used Sonlight B this year while their younger siblings joyfully listened in and tagged along.
