Testimonials:

I LOVE THIS UNIT STUDY!!!!! I really want to use this in my homeschool and I think it would be a fabulous addition to a homeschool co-op or a parish religious ed program… [All Shapes and Sizes] is a wonderful way to help children appreciate the uniqueness and dignity of all human life!!

My friend and I lead a homeschool ministry together. This past year, we did a couple of the Culture of Life Studies Program lessons for our faith study program. Our group really enjoyed them! We are planning to use All Shapes and Sizes next school year. We love that it is all put together for us, and the way the content is presented. It is so full of the Spirit!

As the mother of a child with Down syndrome, I liked the study very much.  It was well done and age appropriate. This program will certainly help kids understand and feel comfortable enough to ask more questions.
