Star Stories

Stories are important in our family. We tell them, read them, make them up, pass them on... 

A typical scene in our homeschool. 
 Recently, we all trekked to Bishop Hill, Illinois at the Dreaming Tree behind the Twinflower Inn for Native American Star Stories. Jo Lakota and Brian Fox Ellis took turns coaxing the stars out of the sunset sky by telling us ancient traditional stories. A beautiful night!
