Our ideas about publishing homeschooling books
Mapletree Publishing Company was established in 2002.
One of the first projects we solicited was a book about homeschooling. We
approached Terrie Bittner, a veteran homeschooler and columnist, and

Terrie's book, Homeschooling: Take a Deep Breath—You Can Do This!
got the attention of booksellers, with positive reviews in all three major
trade review journals: Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, and
