Their books are full of colour and culture; their books bring children into a whole new world of imagination. There books are BEAUTIFUL!
Not only do I like Barefoot Books for the the above reasons, I also love the initial intention and core values behind this community of children literature.
As quoted from the official website, this is how it all started, "Barefoot Books began with two mothers who wanted their children to have books that would feed the imagination, while instilling a respect for diversity and a love of the planet."
Isn't this simple intention the very reason why we, as parents and educators, want to bring our children into the wonderful world of reading?

You can find the book catalogue in the Barefoot Book Official Website. Here is the animation of one of its bestselling and award-winning title The Animal Boogie.
