The Latest Book
from Brenda Ellis
When you are a schoolteacher, you have an entire community that understands what you do for a living--the good days and the bad ones. There is something universal about working in a school, no matter where you live. Homeschool parents have such unique experiences that they often don’t feel the same sense of belonging. Everyone likes to know they aren’t alone. This book will encourage homeschool parents and help them understand that we all have these days.
A book of poetry!

Meet The Author
When I was a little girl, I really wanted to be a telephone operator. You know, the lady who got to plug all those little cords into the switchboard? After my dad dashed my dreams by telling me it was all done by computers, I decided to be a teacher. I have taught in public school, preschool, and homeschool for over 25 years. I have read thousands of books to children (and love doing it!). I have had hundreds of ideas for writing books of my own. This time, my dreams will not be dashed. So...it doesn't involve plugging little cords into a switchboard, but it does involve writing books.
I published my first book (a children's book), Cassie, Who is Sometimes Sassy, in 2022. My second book, Homeschool Days: A Look Back at Nearly 20 Years of Homeschooling, is a poetry book released in August of 2024. Subscribe below and keep up with my latest projects.
