I am brand new to AO and I have always been curious about TCOO.  The book that you have completed, will it cover year 5 or will that be in book 2?  Thank you for your diligence and your help.

Volume 1 covers the chapters scheduled in Years 2 and 3. Donna-Jean has said she *hopes* Volume 2 will be out before Christmas.

I have used the original TCOO with four of my children and started it with number 5.  Don't feel like you must wait for Donna-Jean's new volume!  It's fine to use the original book too.  Especially by Year 5, you've moved past most of the problematic content I think.

Thank you, Donna -Jean! My youngest will be in Y3 in the fall, but I ordered hardcover thinking of future generations!

I feel like this new edition would be worthwhile even if it only updated outdated, offensive terminology—I’m grateful for a book I don’t have to censor on the fly. I’ve gotten two kids partway through AO/MA with the old TCOO but this might make the rest of our journey even better. Thanks!
