how my home-schooling experience changed my life - an 'alternative' childhood

Hello! My name is Paola Merrill, I am a writer and artist based in rural Washington state. I live here with my son, husband, animal friends and fairies. I recently purchased a little bookstore: Trail’s End Bookstore. You can learn more and support my work down below ⬇️ thank you so much, sending blessings!

🌙 Pre-order my new book (self-published) The Woods and Wisp🐇✨📗: https://thecottagefairyart.etsy.com/l...

(Q&A: Paola, didn’t you have another book published previously? Alas yes, at this time the publisher of my past book has gone out of business and has stopped paying back their debt of author royalties to me or many authors, so unfortunately I will no longer be promoting that book. That is why I am excited to self-publish my new book and be able to guarantee its quality and control the process 🙏)
