Homeschooling
|
LEE & LOW's books are a valuable resource for homeschooled children because they depict the world as it is — diverse. Our books help children learn to accept other cultures, recognize the universality of the themes in our stories, and relate their own experiences to those of people different from themselves. The books for children we offer include realistic fiction, nonfiction, historical fiction, and poetry. In all, our goal is to establish natural connections among people of different races, cultures, and beliefs.

Sports History
Most children love sports and learning about sports heroes. But sports history units often cover only the most well-known athletes, leaving out many important people entirely. Readers may not immediately recognize the names or faces of some of these lesser-known sports pioneers in these books, but their contributions to the sports world were nothing short of amazing. |

War
A parent's natural instinct is to shelter children from the knowledge and effects of war, but unfortunately the world has made it impossible to ignore events beyond our control. These books for children show heroism and acts of kindness that outweigh the tragedies of war, and provide hope that eventually good will prevail. |
