Want to have fun with your kids while they learn?

As homeschooling parents, Steven and Becky Heumann quickly discovered that the more fun they had as a family, the more their children embraced learning. Workbooks and lectures kept the kids busy, but when they chose to go out and experience life, their 3 sons and 3 daughters laughed, bonded, and retained what they learned. While having these adventures was fun and educational, it wasn't always feasible to go out and about town every day. They decided to simplify and start with one short family activity a week, building up to a larger adventure each month

And you know what? It worked! That uncomplicated framework allowed them to create amazing memories while watching their children expand their knowledge. It worked so well, they wanted to share it with families around the world. They've created this family read-aloud book series, where parents and kids can learn about science, history, and social studies, while exploring their environment and family relationships. Each book is broken up in to 4 sections. Ollie the Alien guides and teaches the readers about his course of study for the month. Each section culminates in an educational experience or adventure for the family. Let us do the work while you snuggle on the couch and read with your little ones. Join Ollie and his humans as they learn and grow together as parents and children.

Becky Heumann has been homeschooling her children for 6 years and has tried all the things. What she has found to be most effective for her children (and her sanity) is learning while connecting with her little ones. Steven Heumann traveled the world while working in television for 15 years. He now is an author and illustrator who is a kid at heart and loves making memories with his children.
