Rue Kream's book "Parenting a Free Child" is wonderful.

The Live and Learn Conference recorded leactures, while not books, are terrific as well.

_The Unschooling Handbook_ by Mary Griffith.

You'll be saying "YES, YES, YES!! Of course this is the way..." the whole

with,

Here's some of my personal favorites:

Teach Your Own - John Holt
How Children Fail - John Holt

Homeschooling Our Children, Unschooling Ourselves - Allison McKee

Better Than School (I forget the author's name)

A lot of people like The Unprocessed Child by Valerie F. It was okay,
but not as detailed as I would have personally enjoyed.

Thanks again,
