I don’t like this book. I guess the message is OK. However, it makes it seem like this child wouldn’t get many of the same things they get by being homeschooled. It makes everything out to be fun and games rather than educational. Especially the double refrain of I’m free to be me. I don’t disagree with homeschooling in general, but by saying I’m free to be me. I disagree with that line. Being homeschooled doesn’t always introduce kids to different people and different cultures to truly figure out who they are. Many times, it makes them ape their parents and instead of being free to be me they are a mini me. So, this book is OK but not when I will ever read again.

The wonder and joy of homeschooling is on full display in this unique book that celebrates the freedom and fun that home education has to offer. Children of all shapes, sizes, abilities, and colors are depicted in many places doing different activities with the help of parents, grandparents, and teachers. The illustrations make each page pop with excitement and possibilities. Secular homeschoolers will appreciate the non religious nature of this book while staying true to the heart of what homeschooling is all about. The perfect gift for the child in your life who is already learning at home, or soon will be. I give it an A+!
Homeschool is not just at home or in a classroom.
It takes me on adventures—
Here. There. Everywhere.
I'm thankful for all the ways homeschool helps me grow.

if you are a homeschool family looking to read more picture books that your children can relate to the environment this book would be a great for ages 3-7

This is such a sweet book about homeschooling. The illustrations are adorable. I loved the whimsy and colors used throughout. The text was fun and engaging. I think a lot of families that homeschool will find this book relatable.

What a sweet picture book about the joys of homeschooling! One thing I have noticed over my years of homeschooling my own children is that there are not a lot of picture books about kids who are homeschooled. This book changes that narrative for sure, and I can’t wait to have a copy in our home library!

I smiled throughout this entire book and can’t wait to share this with friends and my followers on Instagram!

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the advanced e-book of this sweet read in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts are my own.

my kids and i loved this one. as a homeschool family, this book was so sweet and so spot on. i will definitely be looking into purchasing

This is an awesome book that is written really well for homeschooled kids. It's not often that one sees a kids' book written for this specific group, and it makes me very happy to see it! The author did a really great job of touching on numerous different aspects of homeschool life, without being overly specific. This is good because it allows readers to feel seen, but also allows them to connect it really well to their own experiences. If this book was super specific, there would be a disconnect and a decrease in relatability. Lastly, the illustrations were stunning! I loved the amount of detail in each illustration - it makes for a very rich reading experience that is full of emotion and life. Additionally, the coloring had a kind of "childlike" or "crayon" finish to them, which is perfect for a kids' book.

**Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for this advanced reader copy of, A Thank You Letter to My Homeschool, in exchange for an honest review.**

Sweet story dedicated to those who homeschool. Homeschooling is definitely a blessing and I love how the book is told from a child’s pov, going through all the reasons they are thankful to be able to do school at home and all the joy it brings. The illustrations were bright and catch the reader’s attention. Would definitely recommend for a young child in, or embarking on, the homeschooling journey.

As a homeschool family, this book hit the mark for us. A beautiful homage to the loving gift that is homeschooling, The illustrations accompanying the text are so sweet and show the family in a variety of situations and places that my family could really relate to. My kids loved this book! A Thank You Letter to My Homeschool would be a great gift for a homeschooling family or one considering homeschooling.

Thank you NetGalley! What a great book for kids about homeschooling. This is the first children’s book I’ve seen that talks about homeschool. The illustrations are cute and help add the message of the book

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. A lovely thank you letter to the amazing thing that Homeschool is for many kids.

What a special book! I grew up homeschooled and I've never seen a children's book about being homeschooled or that accurately showed what it's like to be homeschooled! The illustrations in this book are beautiful and charming. I would recommend this book to any homeschooling family, people who grew up homeschooled, or are considering homeschooling. This book was definitely needed, and I'm so glad it was written!

Thank you to Netgalley and SOURCEBOOKS Kids for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!

This book was adorable! Just read it with my son, who is homeschooled, and he loved it too. It captures the magic and freedom of homeschool with the words, and the illustrations are colorful and fun!

This was a cute children's book about homeschooling and a great read to my son who I'm considering to homeschool. He enjoyed it and said he couldn't wait to homeschool. The art was really stunning and captured homeschooling perfectly.
