Like you, we read. Lots. Old books are
like good friends. Seton, and Burgess,
and Holling….and Hillyer. Lots of V.M. Hillyer.
I would gather the children and we would trek
out into the world with Hillyer through his
book, “A Child's Geography of the World” and go
exploring God's world from the couch. We loved
how Hillyer spoke directly to us, how we
developed a relationship with the author
himself, how he romped through the world,
teaching us along the way. But we always had
questions. Hillyer's geography was old-maybe
too old? The world had changed. And we wanted
to know what the world was like now. And we
wanted to see God's Hand in it all - for the
Earth and everything in it is His.
Thus this project, a "living" geography primer
for grammar age students, (gr.1/2--gr.6/7). “A
Child's Geography: Exploring His Earth” is
about getting to know what's under our feet,
over our heads and in the world around us-the
atmosphere, the hydrosphere, the
lithosphere-and then how to get around this
world-maps, latitude and longitude. Do you know
how many gallons of water float in a cloud over
our head-how far it is to the center of the
Earth-what causes magnificent auroras, God's
love lights-how God used the Flood to puzzle
our planet into different shifting plates?
Well, hop on board to experience Adventures for
the Inquisitive Child-and every excursion
glorifies our breathtaking Creator!
"A Child's Geography: Explore His Earth" is, in
some ways, really like exploring and scouting
out various routes before a grand trip! While
scouting and surveying the grand scheme of
things, the sciences of His Earth, our appetite
is whetted for the real march out, the
countries of this Earth. The anticipation
builds as we learn about the workings and the
ways of His Earth. Then, having gained our
bearings in "Explore His Earth," future volumes
of "A Child's Geography" will follow the same
traditional path of our chronological study of
history, trekking through the countries of our
world today.

Testimonials:
"I have purchased your books...looked
through your website thoroughly...and think
that the books are wonderful! I am always
looking for truly excellent, Christ-centered
materials. I couldn't agree more with Jeannie
Fulbright's recommendation. I appreciate the
niche you are filling as I have had a hard time
find a Christian, living book, geography "text"
to use!" ~

This is such a lovely way to teach geography ~
just cuddle up with your little one and read.
Having said that, I was surprised at the depth
of information in this book. We colored the
layers of the atmosphere, labeled them with
their names and heights and there it was for us
to see and absorb (we're both visual learners!
