Reviews

Joseph Chilton Pearce, author of Magical Child Brent Cameron's Wondertree educational work ranks with Waldorf, Montessori and A.S. Neil's Summerhill, incorporating the best of each and going beyond them at the same time. Childhood is in crisis throughout the United States and Canada, and here in this book lies an invaluable, practical and simple solution. May it be widely read and its wisdom heeded. --Joseph Chilton Pearce, author of Magical Child

SelfDesign is a landmark book that combines innovative theoretical thinking with sensible practice. It describes the journey of an extraordinarily talented teacher and draws a roadmap for others to follow. It lays the foundations for trusting, empowering, and enfranchising our children. --Dr. Pat Montgomery, Founder and Director, Clonlara School

SelfDesign is a superbly thought-provoking book full of rich scholarship in accessible form. Cameron spices his theory with practical reflections based on insights taken from his own experience as a school founder-director, and as a father. A very special book indeed. --John Taylor Gatto, author of Dumbing Us Down
