source: https://heritagemom.com/2023/08/29/new-a-place-to-belong-paperbook/

I'm thrilled to announce that A Place to Belong is now out in paperback with a gorgeous new cover! The new edition is lighter-weight and more compact, making it easier to take on the go. The sub-title has been updated, but everything else remains the same. If you haven't read the book yet, I encourage you to grab a copy before September 5th to receive a pre-order bonus freebie.

This would also make a perfect gift for ANY parent (not just homeschoolers)!

A PLACE TO BELONG: Raising Kids to Celebrate Their Heritage, Community, and the World

"Family ways are the learned behaviors within a home situated at the intersection of culture, tradition, history, and daily life, and they are malleable. Intentional parental influences can alter them, and as with folkways and foodways, small shifts in family ways can be transformational over time. Every family has the capacity for adaptive change, which requires new learning and thinking. As we discover different approaches to better support our children, we can confidently mold our family ways, on an ongoing basis, in real time."

Home and family are where differences are celebrated, particularly for children who aren't part of the majority culture. Books are often the best or only avenue available for kids to see inside the homes of others and begin to fill in the soft outlines of their understanding of how other people see the world. Providing books that give honest and varied views of different people's lives is like pulling back the curtains of a darkened room, allowing light to pour in through the windows.

Pre-order Bonus

Pre-order the paperback at the retailer of your choice by September 5th, and receive a FREE digital copy of the exclusive A PLACE TO BELONG Companion Journal (regularly $14.95). To receive your journal, please complete this form.

Neither plants nor children will become firmly rooted within our homes by happenstance. They must be nourished. How do we build a deep-watering family culture that supports the growth of a robust root system? There's no single correct answer to this question, as it will look different for each of us, but the idea is that, within our homes, our kids should develop a strong sense of connectedness.

Books & Things: Agreeing to Disagree - Heritage Mom

I've made a point not to disparage curricula, books, services, or products that fellow homeschool moms have created for this community. In fact, I've gone out of my way to state that I respect the work that has been done to provide booklists, lesson plans, and other resources.
