It’s hard to believe that two decades have gone by since we started running Barefoot from our homes in London and rural England. We set out to make beautiful books that celebrate diversity, spark curiosity and capture children’s imaginations. We’ve seen lots of twists and turns, and more than our fair share of disasters (!) in our Barefoot story so far, but we’ve stuck to our vision and never been afraid to choose the path not yet followed. Twenty years on, we’ve come a long way from our days of juggling small children and meetings at our kitchen tables. Our passionate global community continues to grow and thrive, sharing stories and living Barefoot. Kick off your shoes and join our journey!

Nancy Traversy & Tessa StricklandCo-founders

Tessa and Nancy with their children (L–R): Meaghan, Rollo, Francis, Kristen, Erin, Jordie & Zoë, 2000.

Introduce early learning themes with playful and colorful books and gifts that can grow

with your child: first as readalouds for under- fives, then as readalones for those taking their

first steps toward independent reading.

Nancy’s StoryThe Animal Boogie holds a special place in my

heart as it was conceived by my four wonderful Barefoot children. I vividly remember back in the summer of 1999 when my kids, aged 2 to 7, were

dancing outside my home office in France where I was working. They were singing this very infectious

tune over and over again: “Down in the jungle where nobody goes, there’s a great big elephant wiggling his

toes. . . ” and I immediately thought this would make a perfect Barefoot Book! My brother-in-law created

the sheet music and we re-worked the words to incorporate lots of animals and kids doing crazy

movements . . . and The Animal Boogie was born. Little did I know back then that it

would become our best-selling book of all time!

Cordie’s StoryWhen you first walk into the Concord

Studio, it’s easy to forget where you are; the surroundings suggest you have simply walked

into the pages of a book. For the past two years I’ve been lucky enough to help build this playground

of the mind, whether it’s through planning events such as craft times and concerts, working in our

paint-your-own pottery studio or putting our fabulous books on the shelves. There isn’t a day

that I don’t leave the Studio without glaze on my toes, glue on my fingers and at least two pictures

from all the great kids I get to work and play with. There’s nothing like a Barefoot Books

Barbara’s StoryBeing an Ambassador is both an extension

and a celebration of my passion and career as an early childhood educator, administrator and

child advocate for the past 40 years. I’m proud to be a member of the Barefoot Books family, bringing

beautifully crafted, richly illustrated and culturally relevant books to life and engaging children of all ages in the art of story. For me, “Living Barefoot”

represents everything that I know is good for children as they joyfully explore their world, their imagination and their dreams. A classic example

for me is Starlight Sailor, a delightful balance of watercolor art and gentle waves of verse giving life to the magical dreams of a child.

Reminiscent of my own childhood memories, directions to make a paper

boat are included inside! — Barbara Saunders Sims

Kate’s StoryI became an Ambassador in 2007 after a grandparent bought us a copy of There’s a Cow in the Cabbage Patch. My daughter, husband and I shared the book by putting the animals back in their rightful places. Then we grew into The Gigantic Turnip; we were all captivated by the tale of the earth-loving team — heaving, tugging and pulling the enormous vegetable from the ground. We flew around the world on Granny’s magic carpet and shed tears which were stolen away by The Tear Thief. My daughter now reads us tales of outlaws in the forests of Middle-Age England and Arabian tales of India and Persia. She is growing up in the 21st century in a barefooted world, believing in mystery and magic, garnering the wisdom and wonder that generationsof story-tellers have recalled and recanted.— Kate Johns Barefoot Books Ambassador

The Mountains of TibetFirst published on our debut list in 1993, this beloved tale of life and

the afterlife is back in a gorgeous 20th anniversary gift edition.

OCTOBER 2013The Mountains of TibetWritten and illustrated by Mordicai Gerstein

A Tibetan woodcutter dreams of exploring the world, but is too busy with his life to ever leave his valley. After he dies, he is taken on a journey through the cosmos and all the places on Earth as he makes choices that lead him to a new life. This gentle and inspiring look at life after death is just as relevant today as it was when it was first published two decades ago. Inclues a commentary by world-renowned Tibetan Buddhist teacher Sogyal Rinpoche, author of the international bestseller The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying.

Tessa’s StoryMy introduction to Tibetan Buddhism came

in 1990, when I acquired a manuscript by world- renowned teacher Sogyal Rinpoche for Random

House. That book, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, was a revelation to me and others for its understanding

of the relationship between life and death. Two years later, on a retreat in British Columbia, I came across

Mordicai Gerstein’s picture book version of these profound teachings. I was enchanted. At the time, the

book was not available in England, so I was able to obtain the right to publish The Mountains of Tibet on

our first programme. Imagine my delight earlier this year when I discovered that North American

rights had become free, enabling us to reissue this gem of a book to mark our

twentieth anniversary. (And I too, love to fly kites!)

MARCH 2013The Girl with a Brave HeartA Tale from TehranWritten by Rita Jahanforuz, illustrated by Vali Mintzi

Shiraz, a kind-hearted young girl growing up in Tehran, has a miserable life at home with her stepmother and stepsister, who treat her like a servant. When the wind blows her ball of wool into the garden next door, she spends the day helping and caring for the old lady who lives there, with miraculous results. Then her stepmother sends her own daughter off on the same mission . . . but will the results be the same?

“A gentle tale about the importance of inner beauty and of listening

with one’s heart”— PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

“Author Rita Jahanforuz, a Tehran-born Israeli pop star, recapitulates in these vivid pages the

fable of an understanding girl named Shiraz”

— WALL STREET JOURNAL

heartedness, something that doesn’t always get celebrated in a girlhood

culture of snark”— NEW YORK TIMES

Rita’s StoryMy mother used to tell us this tale when

we were kids in Tehran, and when my daughters were born I started to tell it to them. I would add

to it here and there, and suddenly it became a much bigger story with a lot of details. One day I just wrote it down! Through this story, I can keep

my parents’ legacy alive, but with a mixture of what I am now: both Persian and Israeli. I think I was

really lucky to have this opportunity. My favorite part of the story is when Shiraz is in the garden,

and everything is ruined. Suddenly she hears a faint sound of water under a big stone. Even though

she’s very small, she moves the stone with her will and her love. I love it because I think all of us can listen to the world, and each one

of us can move some stones. — Rita Jahanforuz
