Adding Up Homeschool: The Tuttle Twins

Have you heard about the Tuttle Twins yet? The Tuttle Twins were written by homeschooling father Connor Boyack after he became discouraged with the lack of children's books that teach principles of freedom. In this 3 book series you will follow Ethan and Emily as they learn about government and liberty.

The first book - The Law, was written based on Frédéric Bastiat’s The Law, written in 1850. The Law clearly summarizes what the proper role of government is. The Law is a fun story of Ethan and Emily and how they learn about government. I know as parent, I sometimes struggle with how to explain government to my children, so when I first heard about this book, I was excited to purchase it and read it to my children.

In book number 2, The Miraculous Pencil, you will follow Ethan and Emily along as they learn how a pencil is made. My kids an I were amazed at how much goes into make such a small little thing. Who knew that so much goes into something so small and simple looking like the pencil. It really is a miraculous pencil and an invention that many, many people all across the world have benefited from.
