INTRODUCING BAREFOOT BOOKS' YOUNG FICTION!
 |
"Wouldn't you rather be free, just for a day, than spend a lifetime in a cage?"
It’s the summer of 1966 and Mao Zedong’s communist regime is about to move to a new level. Little Leap Forward lives in Beijing, with his mother, brother, and four older sisters. When he is not running errands or attending school, he loves to play the flute and to fly kites. |
Earn Free Books:
Back to School Incentive!
Book a private home event and earn 20% of the total order in free books! (normally 10%) Your event could be an evening social hour or a play group story time. You may also consider running a book drive for your school or a literacy organization.
If hosting a live event doesn't fit your schedule, you can still earn free books by organizing a catalog party. Simply bring a few catalogs to your next book club, play group, etc... and collect a bulk order. Contact me for details.
Buy a Book, Plant a Tree
Building on our mission to encourage children to embrace the world around them, Barefoot has made a commitment to "Go Green". Part of that dedication is that we now print our books and catalogs on ancient forest friendly paper and ensure that all marketing items are made of recycled or recyclable material. "Ancient forest friendly" means that our paper suppliers are obligated to replant trees that they have harvested, and that they do not damage rainforests or other ancient woodlands.
In an effort to build on this initiative of sustainability, we have formed an alliance with another "Green Business", Eco-Libris. Eco-Libris partners with organizations that work in developing countries to plant trees. These planting efforts help communities in these countries move toward a sustainable future by insuring that each tree is planted where it provides significant value for both the environment and the local community. Barefoot Books Stallholders can now offer wonderful Eco-Libris Stickers to display on your books! The stickers are $1 and for each sticker purchased, Eco-Libris plants 1.3 trees (so at least one survives). Display your stickers proudly to show how truly committed you are to caring for our planetary home! Please drop me a line if you are interested!

Fund Raising with Barefoot
Barefoot is clean from commercialized reading. Our dedication to art and story make us the perfect choice for the educational setting. Why should a school settle for books about commercialized toys, movies and characters? Contrary to common assumptions, the love of reading is deeper than connecting with a popular character. Children engage in story that cultivates their sense of wonderment!
