Dear Friends,

And that’s a wrap on 2023! We are incredibly grateful for each and every person and organization that shared in our mission to open children’s hearts, minds and worlds through books this year. We are delighted to see Barefoot Books displayed in so many libraries, indie bookstores and gift stores around the world. One of our biggest achievements was launching new partnerships with incredible literacy organizations.
