A family tale that will tug at your heartstrings... They may not have much by the way of material goods, but the charming Pepper family enjoys the very special treasure of a well-lived family life. Cheerful attitudes, generosity of spirit, diligence, and perseverance are the hallmarks of what makes this little family so uncommonly close-knit. The wise Mrs. Pepper guides Ben, Polly, Joel, Davie, and Phronsie through life’s challenges. Don’t be surprised if you find your own family-life renewed by their story.

Professor Mom’s Historical Homeschooling Series introduces the work of historic authors to a new generation of young people.  Respect for elders, love of family, and living by faith are hard-to-find qualities in modern children’s literature.  By introducing your children to the literature of the past, you are doing more than providing entertainment... you are giving them mentors to guide them in living well-spent lives.

Renew your family read-aloud time!
