Barefoot Books

We’ve come a long way since we started our small home-based business in England in 1992. Since the beginning, we’ve wanted to create visually captivating books that celebrate diversity, spark curiosity and capture children’s imaginations. Now, over 30 years and 35 million books in the hands of children around the globe later, we still recognize the urgent need for quality children's books that act as windows and mirrors to our vibrant world. This need continues to drive our commitment to opening children's hearts, minds and worlds through beautiful children's books. We invite you to browse our store, learn more about our Barefoot Journey and read our Manifesto about what it means to "live Barefoot." Thank you for supporting this women-founded, independent publisher as we strive to make the world a kinder place, one book at a time.
