I’m a homeschool dad who loves literature.
These days it feels like quality children’s books are almost nonexistent. So much of what’s published for kids is thin, trendy, or talks down to them.
It didn’t used to be this way. Children’s literature once carried higher expectations. And I firmly believe our children will rise or sink to the expectations we set for them. We need more stories that equip young readers with hope, wonder, and a moral compass. To paraphrase G.K. Chesterton, the truth at the heart of these stories is not that dragons exist—any child already knows that—but that dragons can be beaten.
My goal here is simple: highlight strong children’s versions of the Great Books and enduring classics—the kind that actually prepare kids to read the real thing later. I’ll also add in some complementary history, science, and other books.
I’ll share the ones my own kids have loved.
First up soon: an excellent retelling of the Odyssey.

Ho boy. The court in the IRS/anti-weaponization case has issued a 56-page order indicating its extreme dissatisfaction. Relying on the 35-Former Federal Judge amicus, it revokes its settlement. And it refers Acting AG Blanche & Associate AG Woodward for discipline. I'm skeptical!
“Jerry, we’ve been incorporating all wrong!”
“Cmon, George, what difference does it make whether it’s the due process clause or privileges and immunities?”
“Privileges OR immunities, Jerry. There’s a BIG difference.”
*Kramer bursts in*
“Hey, Kramer, you ever incorporated?”
“Oh you’d better believe I incorporate.”
“How do you do it?”
“NINTH AMENDMENT, BABY!”
One nation in all of human history staked its existence on a single blazing truth: every soul enters this world crowned in God-given rights beyond the reach of any earthly power. 250 years later, America remains the boldest wager ever placed on human liberty. ❤️ 🤍 💙
John Thune after the SAVE America Act got 50 votes in the Senate:
“We don’t have the votes.”
John Thune after FISA 702 got 47 votes in the Senate:
“We’ll have to keep trying.”
Why the difference?
Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.
