This was one of the first books I bought before starting HE, it contains other Home Educators life experiences of how they Home Educated their children. Not one was the same, there are over 20 stories contained in the book.
I found it very encouraging, as it was very helpful to get an inside look at how others managed HE, it showed me there was no one right way, just the right way for your own family.

Geography Colouring Book

This book is by Wynn Kapit called The Geography Coloring Book, now don't be mistaken here that it's a young childs ordinary colouring book, it's NOT, the maps are very detailed and quite intricate in some areas, it also gives information about the countries and has quite small writing.

Having said that it will be useful for a number of years. It is American but deals with the whole world, and not just present day either there are short sections on the Persion Empire, Alexander the great,Roman Empire, and Byzantine Empire and some others too, they are just brief but give a good overview.
