In the words of the publishing company themselves:
When Nancy Traversy and Tessa Strickland started Barefoot Books in 1992, they were young mothers with four children between them. They wanted to create meaningful, creative careers where they could make a difference in the world, while also keeping their children at the center of their lives. And that’s how Barefoot Books was born. For over twenty-five years, we have created bright, colorful books for children that combine beautiful artwork with captivating storytelling. Our books capture the imagination, spark curiosity, inspire creativity and instill a respect for cultural, social and ecological diversity. At the heart of everything we do are our core values: imagine, explore, create, connect, and give back.
Can you see already why I like them so much?!?
They are beautifully written AND illustrated, and will just draw you and your children right in! There are a wide range of books, from wonderful concept books for infants and toddlers to chapter books for elementary-aged kids, but my favorites are the multicultural picture books and the books with singalong CDs! Come take a look around and see the beauty of these inclusive books for yourself: www. barefootbooks.com/stephanie-kammeraad. (If interested, you may purchase Barefoot Books directly from this site.)
