Dynamic design, page-length essays, sidebars, and hundreds of vivid illustrations incorporated into the text, make The Annotated Mona Lisa a browser's delight, as well as an authoritative reference that can be read with pleasure from cover to cover. Includes fascinating glimpses of art, the artists, and critics' evaluations. You'll leave this book understanding art and artists in a way you probably never have before. Highly recommended for serious art students and the artistically inclined from approximately seventh grade up.

"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."

Thanks to Sonlight's training, my daughter Rachel is in the habit of integrating everything she learns into the 'big picture' of time and place. Before she can read anything, she looks at her timeline to understand where the story takes place in the context of history. She'll also find the story's location on the map. She loves to peruse The Timeline Book [RR120] from beginning to end. I feel she has a great grasp on the big picture. In her fourth year of Sonlight, Rachel (7) uses Google to locate where Little Pear (from Core B) took place.

Sonlight has developed a love of learning in all three of my children. As a speech-language pathologist, I was excited by the rich language and vocabulary each Core contains. Each of our kids absolutely relishes the Sonlight books. I'm personally excited to re-use our first Core this year for Faith and am blessed to watch her love of learning grow as richly as her brothers. Here, Jameson (11, Core F) teaches Faith (5, Core A) how to use The Timeline Book (#RR120) to track world history.
