About Barefoot Books CA

A note from our Canadian CEO, Nancy Traversy, “For over three decades, we have been creating beautiful books that open children's hearts, minds and worlds. Having grown up in Canada, I am so thrilled to “come home" and to re-introduce our titles to booksellers, retailers and families across the country, and mostly to get our books into the hands of more Canadian children!” “The standard for excellence in children’s books” — Forbes Barefoot Books is an award-winning, independent, women-owned and run, children’s publisher based in Concord, MA.
