My family first chose to “deschool” our children because it encourages children to use their natural curiosity to direct their own learning.

Of course, as a parent, it is still my responsibility to provide opportunities to learn. But what can you do for a free-spirited child who might not find a typical book exciting?

These books fit perfectly with the child-directed model of education because they give your child the freedom to explore knowledge AND the expanses of their own imagination. While many other books follow the usual format, these books offer 10 opportunities to turn reading into an exploration– or even a life-changing experience.
