Author: Daniel J. Boorstin

Binding: Ov. Pb.
Pages: 198

Included in these packages:
- Required Resources Package

Required Resource for History / Bible / Literature E. A fascinating introduction to American culture as it has shaped and been shaped by events over the past 350 years.

Winsomely written by the former librarian of Congress. Profusely illustrated.

Boorstin focuses on the social forces and cultural influences that have made Americans the unique people they are.

Partially because his material is unfamiliar, but partially because he writes in a more mature fashion than most younger children are used to, we supplement Boorstin's book (and, if need be, encourage you to replace it for the first half of the year) with The Story of the USA books.

Oversize pb, illus, two vols. in one.

"We chose Sonlight because Amelia (5) and Edith (3) have always loved reading," writes Amanda F of Stockdale, NC. "Our Sonlight boxes arrived, and Amelia immediately began to flip through her new books. Her curiosity made her eager to start kindergarten! The program has beyond lived up to my expectations. I love that all the hard work has already been done for me; I simply open my Instructor's Guide and go! Amelia's 3-year-old sister Edith loves participating in school with Amelia. Science has been their favorite subject because of the experiments, and Edith feels so grown up doing the same assignments as Amelia."

Sonlight has been a life-changing curriculum for our family. Five of our children have graduated and our younger children are fortunate to have older siblings who can relate and fellowship over the books they're using. They have a bond through Sonlight books that will last when their families someday visit each other. My 22-year-old daughter recently said, 'Mom, make sure the kids take care of those [books], I want them for my kids one day.' What powerful words; I've never heard any of my children say that about the dry, daunting texts we previously used! Isaiah's (9, Core D+E) interest in and knowledge of railroads broadened immensely through The Landmark History of the American People.

"We were drawn to Sonlight because we love the books and reading together," writes Megan S of Santa Rosa, CA, "but the Book of Time and the way history is put into place by the collective curriculum was a revelation for me.

"I have learned so much right alongside my children! And my babies learn daily with their older sisters. It's an all-around win. We thank God for bringing Sonlight into our lives."

Here, Megan's daughter Alheli (4) hugs her Book of Time as she joyfully realizes that she'll be doing her very own timeline work! Her sisters Ellen (7) and Olin (4) look at their own treasures during their family's fifth Box Day."Alheli has been listening to her older sisters' Sonlight readings since she was a baby," Megan said. "This year, as we opened the box, she said 'Hey, look! A new timeline book!' When I told her it was hers to use, she pulled it out with awe and kissed it. I love that one of her growing-up milestones will be her use of the timeline that she's watched her sisters diligently fill throughout her life. It's a page in her very own story."
