"Unschool Discoveries" is a fresh take on storytelling where the adventure is real and the learning is as natural as play.
"I was inspired to write this story because my family was struggling to find books about the lived experiences of People of Color and those who are homeschooled," said Oliver. "This monoculture display extended to tv shows and indie web series. Learning abc’s, 123’s, shapes, colors and baby sign language from only European characters did the opposite of showing my kids what they were capable of."
Danii Oliver is a wife, mother, queer, creative, tech growth entrepreneur, HCI & Bev anthologist and an unschool advocate for professional moms who enjoys sharing insights, stories and mentorship. Danii goes on to describe how they decided to start at the beginning, telling the story of their family hopes, dreams and accomplished goals. What seems like fiction is actually a memoir, and sets the stage for other stories about unschool life. In the future, they hope to write more stories about "Unschool Discoveries' is for parents who delight in learning about the unschool experience and for children who are themselves unschooled.
