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! Tessa and

Nancy Traversy & Tessa Strickland Co-founders

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

Fun first steps Introduce early learning themes with playful and colorful books and gifts that can grow with your child: first as readalouds for underfives, then as readalones for those taking their first steps toward independent reading.

Illustration by Allison Jay from I Took the Moon for a Walk (see page 46).

Nancy’s Story The 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!

Carole’s Story I enjoy working with Barefoot Books because of the enthusiasm and passion the team puts into their books. They take so much care, from the beginning of a book project all the way through publication. The Greek Myths series is my third project with Barefoot Books, and I am always amazed at how moving I find the texts I work on with them. As a mother, I relate to the character of Demeter and the love she has for her child. Reading with my son is such an important part of our life together. I feel fortunate to make a living creating children’s books like the ones I make for Barefoot, especially knowing what a profound impact they have on children.

Kate’s Story I 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 generations of story-tellers have recalled and recanted. — Kate Johns Barefoot Books Ambassador

“There were red, white, and golden people. There were black, brown, and pink people. Some wore feathers and some wore silks. Some wore plaid, some stripes. They all danced their dances and called to him in different languages” — The Mountains of Tibet

Children will appreciate the well-told tale and the joyous satisfaction of being one’s own self in a large and magical world” — SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL

Tessa’s Story My introduction to Tibetan Buddhism came in 1990, when I acquired a manuscript by worldrenowned 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.

SKIPPING STONES AWARD WINNER The Wise Fool Fables from the Islamic World Written by Shahrukh Husain Illustrated by Micha Archer

My 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.
