Reseñas de la Crítica

“Julie’s approach to writing instruction fits beautifully with my conscious parenting principles. She puts the child’s experience at the center of her pedagogy, which in turn allows a child to develop naturally as a writer. Parents will find practical help and relief in these pages.”—Dr. Shefali, New York Times bestselling author and clinical psychologist

“In an era of AI writing tools, Julie Bogart offers something irreplaceable: a warm, practical approach to helping children discover their own desire to write. She shows how to transform writing from a dreaded chore into a natural form of self-expression and connection. An invaluable guide for raising writers who write because they want to, not because they have to.”—Barbara Oakley, author of A Mind for Numbers and Learning How to Learn

“This book should be required reading for parents, teachers, and especially those who have chosen to guide their children’s education at home as parent-teachers. In this book, Julie provides all the intel we crave, but most importantly, she gives us confidence. I’m prepared to cheer my kids on as they express themselves through writing, and it will be so much fun!”—Amber O’Neal Johnson, author of Soul School and A Place to Belong

Fantastic and Helpful

I have read all of Julie’s books, and once again she has hit this one out of the park. I homeschool my five kids (who have a range of skills and abilities), and I always find so much wisdom and encouragement in Julie’s words. This book has bolstered my confidence in my ability to help my kids on their writing journeys, and has given me so many helpful tools to use along the way.
