As Mr. Butterfield carves a Jesse Tree in a dusty old church, a curious boy distracts him by asking about the various symbols on the tree. The gruff old man somehow finds himself retelling familiar biblical tales that trace the family tree of Christ, from the Garden of Eden to Jesus' birth. Under the carpenter's skilled hands, the Jesse Tree grows ... and an unlikely friendship takes root. A fresh retelling of much-loved stories, with whimsical, striking illustrations.

"Sonlight has been a blessing to our family," says Carla P of Upper Marlboro, MD. "The living books bring so much joy and depth to our homeschool days. The best part of Sonlight is that it fosters deep and meaningful interaction and bonds, along with a great education. Being a military family, we move a lot, and it helps our kids adjust to bring their old 'friends' (books) with them!" Pictured, Ava (9) celebrates Box Day. The P family has been homeschooling for five years, Sonighting for two.

"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."

"Using Sonlight really helps keep our homeschool days relaxed," says Jana M of Searcy, AR. "The Instructor's Guides are easy to use and allow us to move at our own pace. I especially love the detail in the IGs, allowing me to enrich my son's learning with more detail and biblical references. Visual aids like the Markable Map also make such a difference, since Kage is a visual learner." Here, Kage (6, First Grade ASP) labels the continents on his Markable Map.
