Pamela DeCicco, Community Bookseller

Hi, I am Pamela a Community Bookseller from Maryland. Barefoot Books open up reading and the magic of childhood in a unique and special way that I have not found in most other children's books.

Barefoot is an independent publisher that was looking to create beautiful and engaging books that were a step away from the commercialization of childhood in our modern world.  You can see all about Barefoot Books here.

They have a commitment to giving back, along with operating using sustainable business practices. You can see more about Barefoot's impact here.  

Barefoot is and has been committed to diversity and inclusion before it other's were even paying attention. You can see all diverse and inclusive books here. 

These were all things that drew me to Barefoot when my children were younger and I have never ceased to be amazed.  As a previous preschool teacher I have a special place in my heart for children's books. And though I no longer teach and my children are older I still believe that a special book in the hands of a child is a step towards making a child's world and the world at large a better place.
