Henry David Thoreau wrote, “All good things are wild and free.” This is the quote that inspired Ainsley Arment to write her first book The Call of the Wild and Free, followed soon by two more, The WIld and Free Family, and Growing in the Grace of Homeschooling. In them, she outlines the beauty of homeschooling children with adventure, freedom and wonder.
Ainsley’s family activities collection introduced 4 more books: Holidays, Handicrafts, Nature, and Book Club. The methods of Charlotte Mason are celebrated and revived in these pages. She invites families to cultivate an atmosphere of education in their lives.
Wild + Free groups are popping up all across the United States as a diverse population of homeschooling families unite under the common love of a childhood out-of-doors. There is a Fall Conference planned for mamas later this year, and even gatherings for the whole family. You can listen to the Wild + Free podcast, and sign up for her newsletter at bewildandfree.org
