“A masterpiece. This is the deepest, most meaningful book on
parenting I have ever read. If you want to raise your child to be a
happy learner, whether via homeschooling or conventional schooling,
read this book.”
—Barbara Oakley, author of Learning How to
Learn and A Mind for Numbers
“Julie Bogart’s everyday magic is her knack for combining
galvanizing inspiration and hands-on practicality. Her writing is
frank, funny, and full of charm. Her approach to homeschooling—and
to parenting in general—emphasizes a spirit of adventure and
camaraderie, placing relationship at the center of a family’s
educational journey. This is the guidebook I wish I’d had when I
was starting out.”
—Melissa Wiley, author of Fox and Crow Are Not Friends
"Success in homeschooling is more about mindset than method, and
relationship than academic minutiae. Julie Bogart unpacks what this
looks like for her in powerful and practical ways that will inspire
you to personalize your own homeschool journey."
—Heather Haupt, author of Knights in Training
"In The Brave Learner, Julie captures the essence of learning.
Homeschooling is not about the schooling or even the home, but
rather, it’s about people—their stories, hopes, needs,
opportunities, communities, and future. The Brave Learner
emphasizes this beautifully by moving between the vision and
practice of homeschooling—not an easy transition to make. The book
is a worthy read for any parent, whether they homeschool or
not.”
—Terry Heick, founder of TeachThought
“Julie Bogart is tireless in providing ingenious and creative
help for homeschoolers.”
—Peter Elbow, Professor of English Emeritus, University of
Massachusetts at Amherst

book brimming with generous, practical ideas about how to live and
teach at any age. I only wish I had more children!
—Amy Ludwig VanDerwater, author of Forest Has a Song
"Julie’s voice is personable, encouraging, informative, and
reassuring. The Brave Learner is filled with
inspirational and practical tips on helping children thrive whether
you're a homeschooling parent or not."
