What is the Book Hearth? The Book Hearth approach is a unique, comprehensive way to bring stories and lessons to your children or students. This approach was created by two homeschool moms to give you lesson plans for a month of learning experiences with children in different grades.
Book Hearth Guides show you the simplicity of centering learning around just one book for one block. You can pick a single book for the whole family and build your main lesson work around that story while delivering the lessons individually to each child.
Each Book Hearth Guide is built on 5 anchor points: Story, Self, Senses, Strengths, and Sharing. When you intentionally integrate these anchor points into your teaching, your students will gain knowledge, build academic and life skills, and take part in memorable learning experiences.
As parents, you’ll discover the freedom of building multi-age homeschooling blocks around just ONE book.

Book Summary of Coo
Coo is a young girl who is raised by a flock of pigeons. She knows that even though she’s a human and they are pigeons, they’re her family. This story is quirky, funny, fresh, and charming and really captures our longing to belong. When Burr, the pigeon who means the most to Coo, is injured, Coo ventures off the safety of the rooftop world into the unknown world of humans to get help for Burr. That’s how she meets Tully, a healer who cares about the pigeons, too. As Coo learns to spread her wings in this new world, she discovers who she is without leaving her past behind. She also learns to face her fears as she finds new friends and a found family.
What grades is Coo recommended for? This book is generally recommended for grades 3-7. Our Book Hearth Guide gives you lots of ideas for including both younger and older learners as well.
