Shirin Shamsi, Community Bookseller

I began sharing Barefoot Books in 2011. I had no idea about running my own business, all I knew was that I simply had to share these books with the world.  Getting these books into children’s hands is like giving a treasure that will bring great joy and enhance their understanding of their world. Children raised on these unique books will grow up with compassionate hearts, empathy for all and a love and respect for their world.  I feel an urgency to share these books, for the benefit of future generations. To me, this is not simply a business, but a mission to nurture a better world: one book at a time, one child at a time.
