You may not already know that we only feature real photos and stories from our customers in our marketing materials—in our homeschool catalog, online, on social media, and at homeschool conventions. So thank you to all of the families who participated in this year's photo contest and for sharing your #sonlightstories. Congratulations to the three winners featured below!
WINNER: The M Family, Sonlighters from Bartlett, TN
"We love starting our day by reading the children’s Bible provided in the curriculum and praying together. The rest of our day is centered around snuggling together and reading, which is an amazing way to bond with both of my children! I love that the curriculum is so thorough, and that both of my kids are learning science and history through the books and stories,” admits mom, Miranda.
"Our son was diagnosed with dyslexia this year, and it should have been a hard hit, but it wasn’t because we’ve been reading and sharing Sonlight books since he was a baby. Our son isn’t deterred by the dyslexia and is thriving!"

WINNER: The C Family, Sonlighters from Ray City, GA
“Sonlight's curriculum has an honest approach to history that is wholistic and well-rounded at an age appropriate level. Throughout my education, I don't remember learning much history about men and women of other races or backgrounds. I am grateful that Sonlight is the type of program that any child that comes to our home can pull from our bookshelf and see a little boy or little girl just like them. They can read about a hero in history that made a difference, served others, and advanced the kingdom of God, and it just so happens that the hero they read about has their same eye color or skin tone or same textured hair.
The beautiful diversity of the Lord's creation is interwoven through Sonlight.
With Sonlight, our children can step into cultures and times in history while snuggled up next to the fire or at the kitchen table or while on a picnic.
As a family, we are thankful for Sonlight’s flexibility in our schedule to learn, explore, and discover something new. Our children ask us hard questions and wrestle through tough topics in human history. We parents get the privilege and honor to show them the goodness of God even in the midst of a broken, hurting world. Thanks, Sonlight!”

WINNER: The C Family, Sonlighters from Selmer, TN
“We have used Sonlight from the start and fall more in love with it every year,” confesses Anna C of Selmer, TN. “As the years go by, we’ve made many memories, experienced sweet connections, created inside jokes, and have learned so much together, side by side, reading these beautiful books.
Because of Sonlight, our children love books, love history, love learning, and most importantly, are learning to love and serve our Lord Jesus Christ.”
