This Is My Home, This is My School by Jonathan Bean is an absolutely adorable portrait of what the homeschool life is really like. Wonderfully illustrated with a simple text, this picture book takes readers through the daily life as a homeschooling family, from nature studies to music lessons to kitchen-based activities (all in real-life, suitably messy surroundings)--and then to out-of-the-home field trips and co-op activities with friends. This story weaves together the learning and living that happens when schooling happens at home in a way that homeschoolers will instantaneously recognize. Includes an afterword from the author with photographs of his family.
