“The standard for excellence in children’s books” — Forbes

Hello and welcome!

We’ve come a long way since we started our small home-based business in England in 1992. Since the beginning, we’ve wanted to create visually captivating books that celebrate diversity, spark curiosity and capture children’s imaginations.

This year, as we celebrate our 30th anniversary, it's fitting that the overarching theme of our product offer is kindness. On a small scale, kindness can be towards oneself, nurturing positive identity development. Kindness can also ripple out to larger and larger spheres -- to the development of global awareness and taking a stand for our planet. Our mission guides our publishing decisions more than ever, as we are committed to opening children’s hearts, minds and worlds so that they can embody kindness in all its forms.

We invite you to browse our store, learn more about our Barefoot Journey and read our Manifesto about what it means to "live Barefoot."

Thank you for supporting this women-founded, independent publisher as we strive to inspire a cascade of kindness so magnificent...that it can change the world.

Warm wishes, Nancy Traversy CEO & Co-Founder
