This is My Home, This is My School

Bean, Jonathan. This is My Home, This is My School. Farrar, Straus, and Giroux BYR, 2015.

This is the story of a homeschooling family. A young boy introduces the reader to his teacher, his classmates, his classrooms, even the cafeteria! The innocence of childhood introducing a friend to a familiar place is felt throughout, and this warmhearted book is perfect to help children who have yet to meet a homeschooling family to understand what it's like.

Unfortunately, the illustrations are a bit chaotic, which makes for a distracted read and places this book on the "not for storytime" list. With real photographs or a different style of illustration, this book would be perfect for showing different ways kids learn.
