It's about a five year old homeschooled boy (although it's actually an animal family rather than a homeschool family, along the lines of the Berenstain Bears or some such) and it's a really cute book that compares the main character to his public schooled friends without doing so in a negative way, just showing the differences and similarities in a positive way, and focuses on how he is learning all the time. Very cute for the preschool to first grade set, and the illustrations are great, too! There is also a picture book called “I Am Learning All The Time” by Raine Perry Fordyce, 2008.

A very good read. I do have some feedback. There is a mystery running through the first two books and it's a little frustrating reading the whole book and finding that the core mystery is unsolved and in fact, does not advance much in the second book. Also, the books are heavy on geology and digs: I was hoping to learn more broadly about the states that I read about. I'm looking forward to the third Wright on Time.

According to the author Lisa Cottrell Bentley, there will be one book for each state. Pretty cool stuff! Here is a great new series about a homeschooling family and their RV adventures.

I would definitely make a point of including this literature in my kids reading lists. Plus, not incidentally, I imagine that these stories are written by homeschoolers. Lets support our own!

From other lists, I also saw: Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli Love, Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli * Both of these follow the eccentric and fun Stargirl's adventures. Great books - Spinelli is an award-winning, bestselling author. However, the homeschooling theme isn't as strong in the first as she is in school at that point. Apparently Spinelli's wife and several of his relatives were homeschooled so he builds on real experience. Jess: American Girl Today by Mary Casanova * A girl is homeschooled while her parents bring her along for their work abroad. Alice, I Think by Susan Juby * An eccentric and awkward homeschool girl goes to high school. I haven't read it, but it looks very ill-informed about homeschooling.
