I'd like to introduce one of our partners: Barefoot Books. This
award-winning organization was founded by two mothers who dreamed of bringing
beautiful, educational and diverse stories to life.
Their Mission Statement:
At Barefoot Books, we
celebrate art and story that opens the hearts and minds of children from all
walks of life, focusing on themes that encourage independence of spirit,
enthusiasm for learning and respect for the world’s diversity. The welfare of
our children is dependent on the welfare of the planet, so we source paper from
sustainably managed forests and constantly strive to reduce our environmental
impact. Playful, beautiful and created to last a lifetime, our products combine
the best of the present with the best of the past to educate our children as
the caretakers of tomorrow.
This company provides some
of the greatest gifts we can offer each other as humans: a broader perspective
and a sense of wonder.
The Barefoot Books website
provides plenty of opportunities to get involved including art and craft
activities, school lessons, a book club, and stay-at-home jobs as ambassadors. Check it out
here.
