Barefoot Books

Children's books that better our world.




At Barefoot Books this is what we care about: first, we're convinced that it's never too early to introduce children to other cultures. We believe too that children can appreciate high-quality art, and enjoy the music as well as the meaning of language from a very early age. They deserve the very best, and they are dependent on their elders to help them make connections between themselves and others, between nature and culture, between learning and living. They need their parents' and teachers' interest, involvement and time.

So we create books, CDs and other gifts that offer high educational value and are lots of fun. They're designed to last, but above all, they are meant to be shared and enjoyed. We work with business partners from all walks of life: with booksellers and librarians, with home-sellers and gift retailers, with educators and campaigners, with everyone who shares our vision.
