New Releases

The most recent release from Barefoot Books celebrates Autumn and the Harvest Season.


Driving my Tractor has been reviewed on the Barefoot Books Website:

"This is a must-have early years picture book. It travels through the seasons with illustrations that show the farming year. It includes a section on farm machinery. You'll learn about the land and where food comes from. From one who grows her own food, sells avocados at our local farmer's market, and sells Barefoot Books, I highly recommend this one to you!" ~ review by LadyD

It's in Hardback and come with a Sing-along CD, song by Mark Collins (who also song the Port Side Pirates song). It combines farmyard animals with simple counting skills and is guaranteed to keep any early reader entertained.

Also in Hardback are Starlight Sailor and Winter Shadow.





Starlight Sailor tells the story of a young boy and his dog who set sail to distant lands in the enchanting dream landscape, where singing mermaids, majestic whales and flying dragons are brought to life. (suitable for ages 2-6).

Winter Shadow is only the second chapter book published by Barefoot Books and describes a young girl's friendship with a wolf cub. It explores the delicate balance between humans and nature, and between the individual and community. (suitable for ages 8 and upwards).
