Mama Says

Mama says we can learn a lot from...well...pretty much everything! The mostly true story of a little boy, learning and growing in Alaska. Homeschooling in the Last Frontier is always an adventure, and it rarely involves a desk! Watch out for the moose! Written in large print and dyslexic font. Life in Alaska is often demanding. Simple, primal and of the earth and sea. It's beautiful and rugged, as are the people who dwell in the vastness of this land. Before you read this book, be aware that the culture in Alaska is not one of ease and convenience....and this book reflects that in a very gentle manner. Harvesting wild and farm animals is briefly mentioned in a respectful way, without going into any detail. This is Alaska. You must live with this land, as part of it, or you will not last. It's a good life. A simple life. A life full of remnants from the past, and this book shows a glimpse of the primitive richness and deep satisfaction that comes from forging a life for your family with hard work and perseverance.
