Parents, educators, teens, and children will find inspiration for back-to-roots living.

Not only a resource for teachers and homeschooling parents, The Children’s Heritage Sourcebook is a cookbook, manual, and activity book teaching modern homegrown practices of self-sufficiency to children, teenagers, and adults alike.

The activities, eighty-five recipes, and projects are complementary and pertinent to the curriculum of kindergarten through eighth grade, with some specific to the teen years. Seasonal cooking, pickling, and gluten-free sourdough making; natural history and information on raising and caring for animals like horses, quail, dogs, and rabbits; and craft and garden activities such as natural dyes, wreaths, flower crowns, and making your own herbal soap and skincare are all included.

Lavishly illustrated with 250 full-color images from photographer Sara Prince, this reference book is comfortable on a classroom desk, on your kitchen table, or laid open for use in your backyard garden.
“For the mom whose daily routine is ruled by toddlers and/or preteens, gift them this book. Filled with guides to activities like pickling and cooking (including a recipe for gluten-free sourdough bread), the 352-pager is chock-full of self-sufficiency teachings.” —Domino   

“Crafted with passion and expertise by the esteemed authors behind Women’s Heritage, The Children’s Heritage Sourcebook is a dynamic combination of a cookbook, a manual, and an engaging activity guide for children, teenagers, and adults alike. Within its pages, you will find a diverse range of activities, eighty-five recipes, and projects that align with the curriculum from kindergarten to eighth grade. The authors explore topics ranging from seasonal cooking to foraged foods, the art of pickling, animal care, and raising animals such as horses, quail, chickens, and rabbits. Additionally, The Children’s Heritage Sourcebook presents various craft and garden activities like working with natural dyes, crafting wreaths and flower crowns, and even creating your own herbal soap and skincare products.” —LONNY

"The Women’s Heritage Sourcebook by Ashley Moore and Lauren Malloy and Emma Rollin Moore and Audria Culaciati is a bountiful resource for anyone looking to get tips on country living. If we learned anything from the 2020 pandemic it is that life skills, such as gardening, cooking, herbalism, canning and animal raising helps us feel empowered and secure. This book is a collaboration between four authors; all bringing their own content and wisdom. Teaching children about the elements of homesteading and sustainability is also more important than ever. Look for their new book: The Children's Heritage Sourcebook: Back-To-Roots Living for Kids and Teens, to be released next year." —CULTIVATEDMAGAZINE.COM
