Parenting doesn’t come in one standard edition... and neither do families. Welcome to Special Edition Parent
A family-led space for raising curious, different thinkers through life, learning, and imagination. Whether your child learns differently, thinks differently, or simply walks their own path, or even if you just parent differently you’re not doing this alone.
We share real stories, inclusive learning resources, adventure fiction for curious kids, real-life history exploration and meaningful merchandise designed to help you nurture your child’s spark, build confidence in your parenting, and create a family life that truly works for you.
Together, we’re building a village where every kind of parent can thrive — not just survive.
At Special Edition Parent, we believe that great education should be accessible to everyone, regardless of budget. That's why we've made the decision to offer all of our educational resources completely free of charge.
From immersive learning adventures and activity packs to reading programs, conservation projects and themed learning experiences, everything is now available for families to access and enjoy without cost.
We'll be adding new content every week, so be sure to check back regularly. Alongside our resources, you'll find our blog, where we share the realities of raising and educating differently, as well as a growing community of families who are choosing their own path.
You can support what we do by following our social media channels, watching our upcoming documentaries, reading and sharing our blog, picking up some merchandise, exploring our fiction books, or making a donation through our support page. Every contribution helps us keep these resources free and accessible for other families.
We're also incredibly proud of Maverick and Mars, our fiction series where home educated siblings are the heroes of the story. Created to provide representation rarely seen in children's fiction, the series has been enjoyed by both children and adults and has grown into an international seller.
Whether you're here for the resources, the stories, the community, or simply because you're raising your children a little differently, we're glad you've found us. Welcome to Special Edition Parent. You belong here. 💛
What we do
History is breaking, the Arena is searching and two ordinary siblings have just been chosen to fix it.
The Maverick & Mars Adventures - Where legends are real, worlds are falling, and stories must be repaired.
Mars loves puzzles, Maverick loves trouble, but neither of them expected to be chosen to save history.
When a strange symbol appears overnight in Mars’s journal, the siblings discover it isn’t just a drawing, it’s a mark. One that opens a doorway into the Arena, a mysterious system that connects worlds built from ancient myths and legends.
Viking realms, desert kingdoms and medieval castles are all beginning to collapse across the myth systems as the symbols that hold these worlds together are beginning to fail. Stories are shifting, history is changing, and something unseen is tearing through the network of worlds and stealing the very marks that keep them alive.
Chosen as new mark-bearers, Mars and Maverick must travel through these dangerous realms, repair the broken stories, and uncover what is destroying them.
But the enemy they’re chasing is learning fast.
And if the damage spreads beyond the myth worlds…
their own world will be next.
