Community Bookstore Special
Best of Communities ― The Cream of Our Crop

Children in Community
by Kim Kanney, Community Bookstore Manager

Best of Communities Volume VIII
Children in Community
A special selection of articles from Communities: Life in Cooperative Culture
magazine
$10 Digital, $15 Print

The Foundation for Intentional Community is pleased to offer you the cream of the crop―the very best articles that have appeared over the last 20 years in our flagship publications: Communities magazine and Communities Directory. We’ve distilled what we consider the most insightful and helpful articles on the topics that you―our readers―have told us you care about most, and have organized them into 15 scintillating collections.

Children in Community looks at the many ways to raise, rear, and educate a child within a community environment. Throughout the collection of 22 articles, you will explore writers’ perspectives on children being raised by several non-biological adults or children seeking sibling-ship with non-biological peers. You will read about homeschooling, unschooling, and the clash of public school while living in community. Perhaps most importantly, you will hear from children themselves and from adults who reflect on growing up in community.

Order Volume VIII today or get the entire set!
