The selection of Sonlight books we receive with our Core each year brings a passion to my life that overflows in my teaching and enriches each one of our lives. Not only does Sonlight introduce incredible, captivating and truly inspiring books to my children, but to my husband and me, as well. With all the curriculum choices available, I can understand that Sonlight may not be a fit for every family. However, I'm extremely grateful that Sonlight is a fit for the Happy Hearts Homeschool. We're here to stay! In the family's fifth Sonlight year, Hayden (9, Core E) and Gunnar (6, Core A) participate in a theatre production inspired by Clara and the Bookwagon, a favorite from Core B.

"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.

"Sonlight not only sprouted a love of learning in our son, but also in our preschool-age daughter!" writes Caroline S of Mar ysville, WA. "Even though she's three years younger than her brother, she is captivated by Read-Alouds like The Pender wicks, Sticks Across the Chimney, and Strawberry Girl. She's memorized Scripture like the Lord's Prayer and Psalm 23, and she has listened intently to historical adventures like the stories of Gladys Aylward and George Müller. How amazing that the love of learning can be so contagious! We can't wait to see what happens when she has her own curriculum to explore in the future."
