Here, you will find links to all state homeschooling organizations. These organizations are excellent resources for getting started in your state and for information on registering your home schooled child. Most state organizations also sponsor an annual conference where there is a wealth of information and resources for new and seasoned homeschoolers alike.
You'll also find plenty of
Afrocentric and
multicultural
as well as mainstream curriculum
resources
to delve into. Additionally, we
have provided a list of African-American homeschool
support groups
to join.
If you have questions about homeschooling your children, start with our resources page. If you still haven't found the information you're looking for contact us at info@naaha.com.

Our New Children's Book Picks  Red Butterfly: How a Princess Smuggled the Secret of Silk Out of China Written by Deborah Noyes Illustrated by Sophie Blackall Ages: 6-10, Grades: 3-6 If you have a budding artist or future illustrator in your midst, you must pick up Red Butterfly: How a Princess Smuggled the Secret of Silk Out of China
this month to share with your son or daughter.
Not only does Deborah Noyes exquisitely tell the
story of silk and its move to the west, she also
masterfully take us on a trip to explore and
discover the pageantry of China's imperial
court.
Equally of importance are the splendid illustrations by Sophie Blackall that exude elegance, beauty, grace and the richness of tradition. Any child who already has a talent for drawing and for the arts will be inspired to continue their craft after seeing these stellar illustrations.
Written in a first person narrative with a distinct poetic flow, a Chinese princess describes her last days at court before she is married off to the king of Khotan. We travel with the princess through the cultural rites and rituals of an ensuing imperial marriage as well as experience the understandable sadness of a young princess who is leaving the only family and palace she has ever known.  Oscar and the Moth (Oscar) Written and Illustrated by Geoff Waring Ages: 4 and up, Grades: Preschool and Up There is no better way to quench a child's endless fascination with natural phenomena than through books. All children have asked at one time or another about the reasons why they see light and dark and parents throughout history have had to simplifly the details in a way children can easily understand. Oscar and the Moth, a Start with Science Book from Candlewick Press, is a brilliantly written book of discovery for children ages four and up, the precise years when children begin tirelessly asking questions about the vast world around them. Oscar and the Moth discuss the rise and setting of the sun, the difference between light from lamps and light from fireflies, and they even talk about light emitted by underwater creatures like squid and anglerfish.
Young children will obtain a clearer understanding of light and dark through beautifully-illustrated, lovable characters who themselves are helping each other learn the differences and reasons behind these natural occurrences. Read our September book reviews.
