I reached out to several of the sailing families, many with small children, to see how their experience has been sailing the world and how they are adapting to the pandemic, homeschooling, and the possibility of being stranded in a foreign country. Most of these families are documenting their adventures via YouTube, where you can follow along.
We departed Puget Sound in the summer of 2008 with our children aged 4, 6 and 9 aboard. At the time, we intended to take a 2 to 5 year sabbatical. 13 years later, we're still voyaging! Initially we went south to Mexico, and were there over a year in Mexico before sailing to the South Pacific. Two years in, our money was running out because we hadn't been able to sell our house in the real estate crash; I interviewed via Skype from Tahiti and found a job in Australia. We sailed the other 2/3 of the way across the Pacific to "Oz" and I worked there for about a year and a half; we departed Australia in 2012 and continued a slow, westward circumnavigation.
First daughter Ivanka Trump huddled with Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill Tuesday morning to discuss family and child care policy as she seeks to build momentum around one of her signature issues.
"Now I realize that on any particular decision a very great amount of heat can be generated. But I do say this: life is not made up of just one decision here, or another one there. It is the total of the decisions that you make in your daily lives with respect to politics, to your family, to your environment, to the people about you. Government has to do that same thing. It is only in the mass that finally philosophy really emerges."Remarks at Luncheon Meeting of the Republican National Committee and the Republican National Finance Committee, 2/17/55
"I say with all the earnestness that I can command, that if American mothers will teach our children that there is no end to the fight for better relationships among the people of the world, we shall have peace."Address to the National Council of Catholic Women, Boston, Massachusetts, 11/8/54
"I am not here, of course, as one pretending to any expertness on questions of youth and children -- except in the sense that, within their own families, all grandfathers are experts on these matters."Address at the Opening Session of the White House Conference on Children and Youth, College Park, Maryland, 3/27/60 [AUDIO]
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some 50 miles of concrete highway. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. This, I repeat, is the best way of life to be found on the road. the world has been taking. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron."Address "The Chance for Peace" Delivered Before the American Society of Newspaper Editors, 4/16/53 [AUDIO]
What a fun story about an orphan girl tasked by the U.S. Marshalls to keep a family alive. As she enters into witness protection with them, she puts her street smarts and pick-pocketing abilities to good use.

It is told through emails sent back and forth between the girls, family, and friends as well. It is so well written and is ultimately a story about friendship and unconditional love. This middle-grade book deals with really complicated issues like what makes a family in a completely approachable way so it is perfect for our list of books for a 13-year-old.
