Nancy Nicholson is one of the founding authors of Catholic Heritage Curricula. Equipped with an abundance of God-given talent, a major in Secondary Education–English, and years of experience homeschooling her own children, she has written over thirty educational titles, beginning with Little Stories for Little Folks. Her unique ability to develop programs and workbooks that “fit” both advanced and struggling students is due to her experience raising children of different ability levels and learning styles: two of her children are developmentally challenged, while another went on to graduate from Harvard and is now a college professor.

After using How to Dress a Duck, I have noticed how they talk about God's influence in all things around them, not just spouting off the science facts they read in books.
My family is greatly enjoying How to Dress a Duck. My husband and I are impressed with the content and accurate information this book and your other science texts provide while explaining the Faith within the topic. So many Catholic texts that attempt to do this fall very short and the topic explanations become "fluffy" and the faith explanations seem very forced.
