So beautiful to look at and encouraging to keep on! Great suggestions, too. (NB my family is included in the book)

This book is inspirational and beautiful while still based in reality. It gives practical advice for having a beautiful morning time no matter what type of family you have.

Inspiring, vibrant book about gathering together in homeschooling. A deeper look into these topics and having a "Morning Time" would be the book Better Together by Pam Barnhill, which I recommend. But this book shines in its own way, accessible for viewing and inspiration by all ages in the family.
My little ones and I enjoyed looking through the pictures and seeing other families gathering like we do. We especially liked seeing toddlers in other families and laughed at how similar our own little morning time monkey is.
What I appreciated most about this book is that my kids and I could see other families gathering together like we do. There is connection, wonder, and appreciation in that. I hope this book continues to be an inspiration as my kids get older; that we can see the variety of ages and delight that there can be in morning time.

The beautiful pictures are inspiring and remind you why you homeschool. There are a lot of great practical suggestions as well, which I always appreciate. This book is an encouragement during times of doubt.

Only docking a star because there are some very Catholic resources recommended that I couldn't condone. But lots of good, practical inspiration for homeschooling.

An excellent review of Morning Time and its importance in our homeschool days. Seeing the real life pictures of several families during their "gathering time" was invaluable.

An encouraging read and perfect for a self-care day of sitting outside enjoying the breeze, sunshine, and sounds of nature. And, of course, adding more books to checkout at the library.
