There are fun comics to read, celebrations in other parts of the world to learn about, and even yummy recipes to commemorate each season.

From the author, Jennifer Guest:

I feel there is a great need for wholesome, fun, Christian-friendly books on a variety of integrated topics. My books are evolution-free, feature kids who dress modestly, and the relationship between siblings is loving, but realistic. I've created books I would feel good handing to my own children. My characters are respectful to their parents and readers don't have to worry about the all too pervasive societal pressure creeping into my stories. At the same time, I want children's eyes opened to the larger world around them, by introducing other cultures and moving beyond the boundaries of the United States. God has made an amazing world and I want kids to see that in my books. I strive to present characters that are innocent, intelligent and inquisitive.

While my books are God honoring, I don't think they are preachy, and families who aren't Christian can still benefit from the solid science concepts, information about other cultures and a fun story with interesting activities.

I hope your family enjoys learning with Abigail, Henry, Grace, and Beowulf!
