Living in the Country is a 92-page illustrated workbook designed to gently introduce children to the beauty, rhythms, and values of rural life. Through storytelling, poetry, handwriting, nature study, and thoughtful reflection, children explore the world of farms, gardens, animals, and community while learning the heart of simple living and self-reliance principles.
This workbook is perfect for homeschool families, classrooms, nature-loving children, and anyone who wants to slow down and reconnect with the land, work, and relationships that shape country life.
What Children Will Learn
Children will discover how people live, work, and thrive in rural communities by exploring:
How land and seasons shape daily life
Where food comes from and how it is grown
How animals, gardens, and wild spaces work together
The importance of caring for a home and community
How people practice self-reliance through growing, preserving, building, and helping one another
All lessons are presented in a gentle, story-centered way that encourages curiosity, responsibility, and appreciation for God’s creation and the people who tend it.
