The Grumble Free Year – Tricia Goyer
Now this book actually isn’t directly about homeschooling, however, we attended a seminar recently with Tricia Goyer, and she is such an inspirational lady. She has 10 kids whom she has homeschooled, and this book is all about how they all went grumble-free for an entire year! So I had to include this as a bonus book.
