About Barefoot Books

“The standard for excellence in children’s books” — Forbes Barefoot Books was founded by two mothers in London in 1992 and is an award-winning, independent, women-owned children’s publisher. Our mission is to open the hearts and minds of children around the world. From the very beginning, our books have represented a vast array of cultures and perspectives, while also providing children of all backgrounds a mirror of their own experiences. Today, we have grown into a vibrant and diverse community focused on sharing books and gifts that inspire children to be compassionate, creative and curious global citizens. We are passionate about sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint, and we want to protect the world’s remaining ancient forests and ensure that the forestry and paper manufacture undertaken on behalf of Barefoot Books is ethical and legal. For nearly three decades, we have worked with talented writers, storytellers, illustrators and musicians from all over the globe to create over 900 books and gifts and our proudest accomplishment is to have put nearly 30 million books into the hands of children around the world.
