This giveaway has ended, but feel free to join us in the OMH Book Club!
Winner #1, The OMH Book Club books – Jaime C.!
Winner #2, Montessori Today – Jessica W.!
We’re kicking off the OMH Book Club with a big giveaway!! Yay for free books!
The OMH Book Club is brand new…so new it hasn’t even started yet. But I’d love for you to get involved and read with us!
This year I’ve picked four books for us to read together. Only one book is Montessori-specific, while the other three are a mix of philosophies. Though all the books focus of creating an environment and family culture that encourages the child (and family!) to pursue their full potential, living free, and promoting lifelong learning through exploring and adventure.
To learn more about the OMH Book Club and the books selected head on over to the OMH Book Club post.
The Book Club Plan
We’ll spend 6 weeks on each book and, depending on the book, we’ll be reading 1-2 chapters a week with 4 weeks between each book. We’ll be taking off the months of June (start of summer), September (back to school), and December (Christmas).
Read one book with us or all four. Whatever works for you in your season.
Two weeks before each new book, we’ll giveaway a copy over here on the blog! (To enter this giveaway, keep reading.)
Discussion days will start on Tuesday of each week in the OMH Facebook group. We’re keeping it simple with a short video recapping the chapter and a question or two to get the conversation started. Our first book club “meeting” will be Tuesday, February 17th.
The Giveaway
There’s two prizes to get us started reading:
- Giveaway #1 – A copy of each of the book we’ll read this year: Montessori Today, Home Grown, Caught Up in a Story, & Simplicity Parenting.
- Giveawy #2 – A copy of Montessori Today by Paula Polk Lillard, the first book we’ll be reading in the book club.

I would love to win!
i love that Montessori treats kids like humans — capable and deserving of respect.
I love that montessori respects the defelopmental potential of the children- they WILL grow, and we only need facilitate that, rather than MAKE it happen for them.
I like that Montessori is focused in the learning of children and helps parents to educate their children
I love Montessori because it taught me how to be a better human. It not only changed my view of what children are capable of, but also my view of the universe. I am forever changed.
pick me!!
My girls are in a Montessori influenced program once a week and I love it! I would really love to continue learning more and an excited about this giveaway.
This sounds like fun.
I missed the part about what I love about Montessori. How about everything. I love that it respects children and supports them in being capable and independent.
I love the Montessori philosophy of showing the children respect from birth onwards.
This is such a great idea. It will be a ton of fun!
lets my little one learn at his own pace.
I’ve always been interested in the Montessori method. I mean, since I first learned just a hint about it when I was a teen. As a result, I always wanted any children I might have to attend Montessori if they’re not homeschooled. Now that we have Baby Boy, I’m trying to learn more and more about the methods that will fit our lifestyle and our beliefs, especially because I’ve discovered one can use Montessori method AND homeschool! 🙂
Looking forward to it!
I love that each child’s lessons are at their pace and the concepts are taught in a hands on way!
