I qas sent a copy of Make Your Own Manga published by Elaine Tipping and Erin Prasetya in exchange for this review.
In Homeschooling were allowed to teach subjects our children are interested in. For Charlie this is YouTube and Basketball with a little bit of Wrestling thrown in here and there.
We use a lot of Board Games and books. Through this I have found Charlie is teaching me more than I am him at times. As a parent I like this because I know Charlie will be able to always take care of himself.
When Make Your Own Manga I went to look up what Manga was and before I could find out Charlie was explaining Manga to me and showing me examples from YouTube.
Then Charlie asked if he could see Make Your Own Manga he sat down and began to thumb through the book as he did I noticed Charlie making notes.
I asked Charlie what he was doing and he said making notes he could use when his friends got ready to make the YouTube Videos they make. Charlie said mom, did you now we can use Make Your Own Manga in our Reading Class and also for Creative Writing and Art.
I asked Charlie why and what supplies we would need and Charlie sat down next to me and thumbed through the book with me showing me examples of how Make Your Own Manga is the perfect book for Homeschoolers.
We were even able to put together a Spelling List. Charlie let me know why his dad would like Make Your Own Manga annd how they could crate there own Manga books together.
All in all Make Your Own Manga is the perfect book for both adults and children. Make Your Own Manga can be used in Homeschool and also in Public Schools.
