About Me
I began my Barefoot journey with a stroll down Mass Ave. in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I came upon this enchanting children's book store and dropped in to browse. The art and stories I found were truly delighful. I say Barefoot Books are children's books that grown-ups like to read. I was soon to have a Grandbaby so I felt justified in a purchase. Five years later I am the Grandmother of two wonderful Grandchildren and a big collection of magnificent books, puppets, puzzles and CDs.In the Spring of 2006 I started to sell Barefoot. The Barefoot Book collection allows me to indulge so many of my interests. I am intersted in learning about other cultures. My first job out of college was at the United Nations. I have worked with children in pre-school, adolescents with problems and many years with adults struggling to make a better life for themselves and their children. My art interest is handbuilding with low fire clay. I also enjoy weaving. I always wanted a little busines of my own and felt I could now try a new venture. Barefoot really has given me an opportunity to engage so many of my interests.
I still participate in my community. I volunteer with our Norman Reads program and Success by Six. I participate in book events in day care Centers, at Early chilhood conferences, our Art Market, our Farmers' Market. I have stepped out a little and display books for sale at a local food store that sells local and organic products. I also display and sell at a performing art studio and music and play center for young children.
One aspect of Barefoot that has helped me grow as a person is being a Team Leader. I have quite a large Team and enjoy the variety of people who are attracted to selling Barefoot. I try to be a coach and mentor. If you are interested in joining our Team please email me at EllenFrankBarefootbooks@gmail.com or call me at 405 360-9791
