About the author

Julie Bogart is the popular voice of common sense and compassion for home educators. Her online coaching community, The Homeschool Alliance, her podcast A Brave Writer's Life in Brief, and her YouTube channel are lifelines for tens of thousands of weary homeschoolers all over the world.

Julie’s the creator of the award-winning, innovative online writing program called Brave Writer and the fast-growing weekly habit called Poetry Teatime. She home educated her five children who are now globe-trotting adults.

Her newest book, The Brave Learner tackles the conundrum of parents who want their children to have academic success, and children who want to be happy.

Can’t we get these two desires together: learning that develops skill and creates joy? Creating a love of learning in your family is as easy as lighting a fire. You just need a book of matches. The Brave Learner is that book.

Today, Julie lives in Cincinnati, Ohio, and can be found sipping a cup of tea, planning her next visit to one of her lifelong-learning kids.

Reviews

[Penelope Fisher]

So overpriced and over-hyped! It's a thin paperback book of public domain poetry for $27. These are nice enough poems like Wynken, Blinken and Nod and I Wandered Lonely As a Cloud, but you can find them in any good collection for kids or print them off the internet and make your own book of your favorites. Poetry Teatime and Bravewriter are super trendy, but just get any good older children's poetry collection and read it with your child. So not worth the cost.

A delightful poetry sampler with lovely watercolor illustrations. This was a helpful introduction to poetry (and poets) for the boys & I in our Morning Time.

I was hoping for more of a “how-to” on poetry teatime.
