I know when I started homeschooling, I had lots of curriculum, but I didn't know what books to look for. I'm glad you found a new author friend. :) Do you have pictures of your son's sculpture? .-= Renae´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/LifeNurturingEducation/~3/LxVqWSXay5c/" rel="nofollow">Silencing the Background Noise or Why I Blog</a> =-.

We recently had snow here (only 7 snow days in the last decade!) and he made a snow sculpture of Brighty. Just wanted to say thanks for sharing this author with our family!
