I am a Barefoot Books Ambassador and sell Barefoot Books in the Greater Toronto Area. This blog is dedicated to sharing Barefoot Books' message of educating children as the caretakers of tomorrow through beautiful books and captivating story telling.What is Barefoot Books?
Barefoot Books is an independent publisher with offices in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Oxford, UK. They specialize in carefully crafted children’s books as well as a small selection of other related items. For over twenty years, they have created bright, colorful books for children that combine beautiful artwork with captivating storytelling. Their books capture the imagination, spark curiosity, inspire creativity and instill a respect for cultural, social and ecological diversity.

Why are you doing this?
I can count on one hand the number of companies who have the same values as I do. Barefoot Books stand for education, curiosity, compassion, diversity, responsibility and sustainability. So do I. Once I discovered Barefoot Books, I felt compelled to work with them to spread the word. I truly believe that if we teach our children these values from an early age, we will have reason to be much more optimistic about the future.
