What makes this book unique is that it combines a personal narrative with well-researched content.

It's a powerful introduction to an important topic.

If your child struggles to connect with school in a meaningful way, if your child has a difficult time being challenged by the structure of the academic environment, if your child wants to explore his or her own interests and passions, then you might want to consider unschooling.

If you want to learn about unschooling, Akilah S. Richards has written a book that is well worth the read, and it's available for free online. Richards tells the story of how unschooled children learned to be self-sustaining in a world as complex as ours.

The author of the book, Akilah S. Richards, is a black woman who was born and raised in the US but chose to raise her children as free people. Her unique perspective allows her to reclaim other narratives about blackness, family, work and education. In this audiobook, she talks about how she has come to see freedom through different lenses and how this worldview has allowed her not only to do a better job of raising her children but also herself as an educator and parent.

Raising Free People: Unschooling as Liberation and Healing Work is about how the author has raised her children, who are now adults, without school and how it has shaped their lives. With a generous use of anecdotes and the benefits of their own experience and research, Richards provides an account of alternative educational practice in a very accessible manner.
