This beloved novel--for ages 6 to 96--is available in 3 formats: An affordable digital audiobook for streaming, the CD version of the audiobook, or the print-version. It boasts 250 pages of read-aloud stories that will teach you about the critical principles of true health and homeopathy. Evie Brown loves her amazing Grandma Annette, who recovers from the flu sooner than anyone else.

Evie—intensely curious, full of questions, and eager to learn—shadows her grandmother who does her best to teach Evie and her grandchildren all she knows. Evie learns about Antoine Béchamp, Louis Pasteur, and Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. But when Grandma’s visit comes to an end, Evie is disappointed.

The Family Homeopathy Journal (Optional but recommended)
When using homeopathic medicines, one of the greatest gifts you can give your family is high-quality homeopathic care. To achieve that, keeping track of important details and symptoms is key. This journal helps you organize important observations for acute and chronic illnesses for up to eight family members. This note-taking system empowers you to keep valuable notes whenever you take your own case. It also enables you to communicate clearly with a homeopath at appointments as you refer to your symptoms. Over time, this journal will become a valuable health record of your family’s homeopathic care. But, this journal isn’t just for keeping symptom-related records. The A-Z index of over 50 pages allows you to take notes on homeopathy information like remedies and keynotes. It also includes several practical and pragmatic sections like the book list bookshelf, remedies you need to order, and more. Finally, this journal uses beautiful homeopathy-inspired illustrations that were commissioned especially for this project; these are meant to be used as a calming and meditative adult coloring book experience.
Class 1: The Terrain is Everything
Evie and the Secret of Small Things, Unit 1: Parts 1-4
In the first class, we cover a lot of ground...be sure to do the assigned reading BEFORE you come to class! In Class 1, you learn about Antoine Béchamp and his terrain theory as well as Louis Pasteur and his germ theory. You also get introduced to the concept that conventional drugs suppress illness and drive it deeper into your body. Finally, you also learn about the value of a healing fever. For those of you who opted to get The Family Homeopathy Journal, we go through it together, showing you how it can be a wonderful value to you and your family.
Class 2: Meet the Father of Homeopathy
Evie and the Secret of Small Things, Unit 2: Parts 1-2
Once the groundwork has been laid in Class 1, Class 2 introduces you to the basic precepts of homeopathic medicine. It covers the history of homeopathy by introducing Samuel Hahnemann and you delve deeper into the dangers of suppressing disease. It also helps you think critically about various treatments found in conventional medicine. In addition, this class introduces you to a central book in homeopathic medicine, the materia medica. In this lesson, you will also get some great tips about best practices when working with a homeopath. Finally, if you have The Family Homeopathy Journal, you will go over 'timelines' and how it helps you understand the big picture when it comes to your or a family member's health journey.
Class 3: Homeopathy & Provings
Evie and the Secret of Small Things, Unit 2: Part 3
& Unit 3: Part 1
In Class 3, you will learn more about the source materials that make up homeopathic medicines. You will also think about what it means to prove a homeopathic remedy, how you can avoid it, and what you can do if you have proven one. One of the exciting parts of this lesson is learning about what a homeopathic repertory is and how it works (generally speaking). You will even go through a simple acute case, using a repertory. If you have The Family Homeopathy Journal, you will go over the special index in the back of the book where you can take alphabetized notes--from remedies, to keynotes, and more!
Class 4: Taking the Case
Evie and the Secret of Small Things, Unit 3: Part 2
In this next class, you will dip your toe in the concept of nano particles and homeopathy. As part of this discussion, you will watch some amazing videos that look at the similarity between nano materials and homeopathy. You will also learn a bit about what it means to take an acute homeopathy case, what potency and dosing can look like for an acute case, how we need to avoid bias when taking a case, and you'll start taking some acute cases of your own! We also go into great detail about how you can select your own homeopath--what to look for and what questions to ask. If you have The Family Homeopathy Journal, we will go over how you can keep special notes for yourself and each of your family members
Class 5: Learning Homeopathic Remedies
Evie and the Secret of Small Things, Unit 4: Parts 1-2
Class 5 is great because you finally start learning about various homeopathy remedies: Allium cepa, Nat mur, Arnica montana, Rhus tox, Bryonia alba, and Silicea. You even get to study about each remedy via the video library in the Online Book Club Area. These videos feature interviews with two incredible homeopaths: Annie Batchelor (RSHom) and Christophe Merville--Director of Education and Pharmacy Development at Boiron USA. You also continue to practice some more acute case-taking by going through some more illnesses. Oh! And you get to learn about fantastic homeopathy books that should be part of any budding homeopath's library. If you have The Family Homeopathy Journal, in this lesson, you get to look at where you can keep track of the homeopathy books you want/have gotten, where you can keep track of the remedies that you need to buy, and more!
Class 6: Many More Homeopathic Remedies
Evie and the Secret of Small Things, Unit 4: Parts 3-4
In Class 6, you keep growing your knowledge about individual homeopathic remedies with Annie Batchelor (RSHom) and Christophe Merville from Boiron! You will study Symphytum, Ledum, Apis, Arsenicum, and Nux vomica. As in Class 5, you will have access to full-length videos that cover each of these remedies, or you can opt to study the shorter 'quick remedy videos' to save on time. Like before, you get to try your hand at solving more homeopathy cases. If you chose to purchase The Family Homeopathy Journal, you can note what you've learned in the back index ("Remedies and Health: Materia Medica, Repertory, and Other Notes").
Class 7: More Lessons from the Kit
Evie and the Secret of Small Things, Unit 4: Parts 5-6
In Class 7, you continue studying individual homeopathic remedies, including Cantharis, Causticum, and Urtica urens. You will have more opportunities to practice taking cases, and you will also access videos about each remedy!

Evie and the Secret of Small Things, Unit 4: Parts 7-9
Next on the list of remedies you're learning is Hypericum, Staphysagria, Belladonna, Carbo veg, Aconitum napellus (or Aconite for short). As before, you will access lesson videos for each remedy, and you get to practice taking more cases. If you chose to purchase The Family Homeopathy Journal, continue adding your learning to the back index section of the book ("Remedies and Health: Materia Medica, Repertory, and Other Notes").

Evie & the Secret of Small Things Storybook
Storybook: Evie and the Secret of Small Things
This is the storybook from the Teach Kids Health and Homeopathy curriculum.
Evie Brown and her giant family of twenty-eight aunts and uncles and oodles of cousins are excited about the grand family reunion and Christmas holidays, but everything is brought to a halt when they all come down with a nasty stomach bug and fever … the Brown Plague, they grimly joke. But to Evie, one person stands out from the crowd: Grandma Annette. Grandma recovers sooner than anyone else and has some clever healing secrets tucked away in her purse, and Evie wants to know more about these secrets, especially homeopathy. Evie—intensely curious, full of questions, and eager to learn—shadows her grandmother who does her best to teach Evie and her grandchildren all she knows. She tells them about the bitter feud between Antoine Bechamp and Louis Pasteur, and she introduces them to Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, the father of homeopathic medicine. But when Grandma’s visit comes to an end, Evie is disappointed. Who would teach her about all the different homeopathic remedies? As winter melts away and brings budding flowers and chirping birds, it also brings a special visitor who reveals the seeds of truth about nineteen different homeopathic remedies.
Please note: If you already own the Evie storybook, no need to get a second copy! Also, because Paola wanted to keep this Book Club Program as affordable as possible, we have kept the material costs as low as possible. For that reason, we are unable to offer group-buy discounts for Book Club Materials. This way, anyone can learn homeopathy.
