HEY EVERYONE!

I'm so excited to have the opportunity to share Barefoot Books with you & your little ones! Reading is so much more than just learning how to rhyme or how to sound out words. Reading can help children learn about new feelings or emotions that they're experiencing for the first time & how to process those feelings & emotions better. Reading helps children learn new languages at an early age. It can teach valuable life lessons that will help build their character. They'll learn there are endless possibilities when it comes to their imaginations. The connection between you & your child will grow so much stronger with each book you read together & it creates memories that you're both sure to look back on someday. With each book we read, we live a new life & that just may be the most beautiful gift we can ever receive.
