Barefoot Books recently posted on Facebook about people questioning how Barefoot Books chose their name. Most people felt if was because of when you are barefoot you are "living directly in touch with the Earth" Tessa Strickland, co founder of Barefoot Books, indicates the simplicity and naturalness the image of a barefoot child brings. "The image of the barefoot child speaks to anyone, anywhere in the world. There is a freedom and earthiness in going barefoot. Our Barefoot Books truly value what "Living Barefoot" is all about. Our books celebrate creativity with our well written stories and gorgeous artwork. A recent article in The Guardian writes about the physical importance of a child going barefoot. Here's a excerpt:
Clarks, which produces Crawlers,
makes the following declaration on its website: 'There's nothing better for young feet than walking barefoot, whenever it's safe. It helps muscles develop, allows the skin to breathe and feeling the ground beneath their feet will help them learn to walk.' The title of this statement? 'Barefoot is best.' To read the entire article go to:

How do you live Barefoot?
