This Sunday for any who are interested I’m going to a Barefoot Books party. Sooooo if I know you and you’d like something give me a jingle and I’ll hook you up! Now on to my publisher gushing!
Many of you know that I have a large love for books by Usborne and I still adore them too. But I’m also very much hearting Barefoot Books these days. My first introduction to all things Barefoot was through the Barefoot Book of Pirates. (I know..big surprise.) It was a beautifully illustrated anthology of pirate stories from around the world. Neat. And engaging to my pirate crazed kiddos.
Then I ran into the Barefoot Book of Blessings which is a collection of blessings from various faith sets and I found Elephant Dance an introductory book to India. With the acquisition of these books my interest in the publisher was peaked. What else might they have out there that would be a welcomed addition to my shelves? And what else did they offer as a book with cd?
Barefoot books offers some unique and in my opinion very worldly books. Stories of China, Africa, India, The Celts, Mexico. I love that there are books about strong women from history in books like Fiesta Femenina, Goddesses and the Lady of Ten Thousand Names. And more like Knights, Ballet, Opera. And original stories like the beautifully illustrated Tear Thief.
So there’s my plug for Barefoot Books. I think the are worth checking out via your library or your friends shelf should they happen to have a few.
