Joanna Becker, a homeschooling mum of 3 children aged 11, 8 and 3, understands that many homeschools are flexible and child-led, yet conscious and creativity-focused. To encourage a child's natural desire to actively learn, express themselves, as well as to encourage meaningful relationships with the family and home is an art in itself. Joanna's motto as a homeschool mum is "to keep the heart beating in the home" and Home Educating Mum aims to create the same warmth and inspiration, here, for you, with your dreams.

Max's Bright Fly
Max's Bright Fly is a similarly formatted story and takes children with Max through a garden of discovery - how he can create magic for himself using positive thinking, kindness, gratitude, and his own bold statements.
DUSTY'S WONDER BUG Reviews

Learn how to compost and make healthy food, design characters and covers for children’s books, identify food groups, tally and graph findings mathematically, draw and get arty, and discuss concepts for literacy development, and much much more.
A selection of good books is a mum's best friend
Despite the changing world and improvements in technology, parents still rank books higher than online and watching t.v., as a leisure activity for both themselves and their children. Reading together provides relaxation and stress-release. They love to take their children to book-stores and browse what’s on offer.

Almost 3 out of 4 Australians believe Australian children should read books set in Australia and written by Australian authors, and half of Australians believe that Australian authors should have their books published in Australia – just like Dusty’s Wonder Bug by Joanna Becker.

1 in 2 Australians read books, just like Dusty's Wonder Bug, on an electronic device. You will receive the ebook version for FREE. 1 in 10 Australians listen to audio books.

psssttt...! do you FANCY BECOMING A CHILDREN'S AUTHOR?
You should know that Australians rank reading as their favourite leisure activity. Aaand, that 4 out of 5 Australian parents encourage their children to read. Stats also show that Australians prefer a printed book in their hands and love fiction for escapism, or thought-provoking reflection. For all these reasons I encourage you to publish that children's book you've been dreaming about. To receive news of upcoming workshops that I am presenting at (in NSW, Australia), or to discuss your ideas for publishing a children's book with my support, coaching, editing or proofreading through the process, sign up here.
