Announcing The Upcoming Waldorf Homeschool Handbook!

by Valarie Budayr on May 16, 2013

Here at Audrey Press we are beyond thrilled to announce the upcoming book launch from friend, teacher, writer, and educator Donna Ashton. Donna’s new book The Waldorf Homeschool Handbook will be launching later this summer and we are proud and excited to be a part of this process!

The Waldorf Homeschooling Handbook

The friendship and history behind author Donna Ashton and Audrey Press CEO Valarie Budayr goes back many, many years. Valarie shared with me how Donna and herself have always had a mutual connection of the love of literature and creative endeavors.

“I remember times when Donna and I would have ‘creative dreaming” sessions together. We’ve both always made our living with on-line business.” Valarie shares.

Then one day last Fall the “creative dreaming” became a reality as Donna shared an outline for an upcoming Waldorf-inspired Homeschooling University Course. Valarie recognized immediately that this information was not only a phenomenal course, but a book begging to get published. The two creative entrepreneurs put their heads together and worked towards creating and publishing the now upcoming Waldorf Homeschool Handbook.

Waldorf Homeschooling Handbook

Donna created this Waldorf-inspired book to be the “go-to” guide and master resource for homeschoolers looking to teach in the Waldorf-inspired style. Whether you are just starting to homeschool, or always wanted to, imagine this for a second. Imagine knowing immediately what to do, how to schedule your day, and what courses to follow.

Imagine feeling confident that you are doing it right and that the first steps are clear. Imagine knowing exactly where to find the resources and support needed to be successful.

That is exactly what The Waldorf Homeschool Handbook will  achieve for you.

One of the best (and original) places to find books online, Project Gutenberg takes books whose US copyright has expired and places them on the web in a digital copy.  Gutenberg is an excellent source fo all sorts of classic literature. Many of which are the novels that we read as kids and our kids should read or hear.  And also many older books that you may no longer be able to find because they are out of print.

Many of the books found on Project Gutenberg are text only, available as html or in Kindle format (easily read on your laptop).

Here is the direct link to the Children’s Bookshelf at Project Gutenberg.  You’ll find books for kids in a variety of categories: fiction, biography, fairy tales, instructional.
