Laura Young, Community Bookseller
My childhood was full of reading. I can remember page after page, shelf after shelf, read alouds with my family and what seemed like endless hours reading to myself. I remember reading late into the night, holding my book up to use the faint hallway light until I just couldn't see the words anymore! When I became a mom, my own mother started buying us Barefoot Books from a seller at her local farmer's market. They captured our imagination! The quality of the art and the writing, the accompanying music, and the huge range of content (including a focus on authentic, multi-cultural stories!) made these books an instant win for us. I am passionate about a global, nature-based education rich with music and art to prepare our children for a meaningful, sustainable future.
