SCHOOLS
Stories & Resources that Grow Readers & Character — for Families, Classrooms, and Schools.
The resources on this page are designed for homeschool families, private schools, and classrooms seeking meaningful, discussion-based literature experiences for children and young readers.
My books are often used in:
Homeschool learning
Private and faith-based schools
Literature circles and reading groups
History and character education units
Each resource is created with care, flexibility, and respect for the way children learn best—through story, conversation, and reflection.
A Gentle, Discussion-First Approach
Rather than worksheets or testing, my school resources emphasize:
Thoughtful reading
Guided discussion
Character growth
Historical context
Empathy and understanding
Materials are values-forward and faith-neutral, making them adaptable across a variety of learning environments.
Educators and parents are encouraged to use what fits their students best and to adjust pacing as needed.

🌱 Closing Note
Stories don’t need to be loud to be powerful.
Sometimes the quiet ones shape us most.
