The Teachers are so excited about the upcoming Book Fair!

More Favorite Children's Books
In addition to The Story Tree and Tales of Wisdom and Wonder, Mama Panya's Pancakes by Mary and Rich Chamberlin is one of our family favorites. The story teaches a wonderful lesson about the gift of sharing while encompassing a theme about community and offering cultural exposure to Kenya. With informational end notes, this story is well worth the investment in hardcover at $16.99, but is a tremendous bargain in paperback at $7.99 since you're likely to read it for several years.
One of my favorite stories to read with small and large groups of children is The Gigantic Turnip, illustrated for Barefoot Books by Niamh Sharkey. Children will giggle delightfully when you carefully deliver the story's repetitive lines "pulled, heaved, tugged, and yanked" referring to the attempt to harvest the last turnip. The hilarity of so many animals trying to pull out one turnip is sure to please. The story offers many themes including planting a garden, patience and teamwork. But the story's conclusion offers a powerful message still relevant for today's children - one person's contribution can make a huge difference!
Sing-along stories from Barefoot are FUN! This is a product niche where Barefoot really offers something different from other publishers. Check out titles such as Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Award-winner The Animal Boogie; Creepy Crawly Calypso which not only introduces children to fun bugs, but also the sounds of each instrument in a calypso band; Port Side Pirates - a personal favorite since the book is dedicated me and my boys in honor of our contributions to it's development; and Magic Train Ride which leaves the station for a journey filled adventure that is sure to inspire children's imaginations! View the rest of the sing along story collection from Barefoot here.
Have you adopted a child into your family or know someone who has? Then you'll want to share Motherbridge of Love with them. This book is breathtaking. The illustrations, the text...I get chills when I read it because of how beautiful it is.
New this Fall is our long-awaited, already award-winning book about King Arthur, entitled Arthur of Albion. Illustrated in meticulous detail and written by one of the most world reknown experts in Arthurian Legend, this book offers text that is both engaging for more mature readers and yet age appropriate for readers ages 6 and up. It's a must have for anyone who yearns for the glory and intrigue of Camelot.
Finally, I just gave a set of the new Yoga Planet cards to my son's school today because they are phenomenal! Just like the Yoga Pretzels that coordinate with My Daddy is a Pretzel, the cards are useful for teachers and parents interested in providing relaxation tools to their students and children. But these cards go beyond simple instruction of yoga poses and group activities. These cards inspire kids to be environmentally aware by relating the card topic to an earthly element such as air and water.

Living Barefoot!
How do you "live barefoot?" My family "lives barefoot" in a number of ways. To me, living barefoot means helping other families in my community find books that their children will bond with, learn from and embrace with love so that they become lifelong readers. I get filled with exuberance when parents share a story with me about how a Barefoot Book impacted their child.
I found my first story from my youngest son's bonds with two books: Bear on a Bike and We All Go Traveling By. For the first ten and a half months that I was a Barefoot Books Stallholder, my son chose these two books as his bedtime books almost every night. I think it's pretty incredible that any book can engage a two year old child so consistently for so long. The illustrations in the whole Bear series are so colorful and rich with intricate details that we still continue to find ways to interact with this book. We often count the fish in the river as Bear rides on a raft and we always look for the rabbit on the island where magic star fruits grow.
Maybe it was the music from Traveling By or maybe it was the fact that my youngest is "transportation" fanatic. We made up our own motions to go with the sounds of all the featured modes of transportation, right down to the two purple shoes! This is another one of those books that I have repeatedly given as a gift, mostly for children aged 2 to 4 years, and always accompanied by much gratitude.
How has a Barefoot Book or other book impacted your child? Tell me!
