We've been exploring these themes with Courtney B Dunlap, author of The Rumble Hunters and a dedicated home educator. Courtney, a former mental health professional and now a mother of four, took us on an inspiring journey from her initial hesitation about homeschooling to her eventual embrace of it as a pivotal part of her family's life.
Courtney opened our eyes to the enchanting world of her book, The Rumble Hunters, where the main character's curiosity and bravery mirror those of her own son, James. The book playfully incorporates sound cues, hidden secrets in the illustrations and, impressively, a representation of black children as heroes of the story.
