Spring / Summer 2023 Barefoot Books Retailer Catalog USCA

2023

Opening children’s hearts, minds and worlds

One of our challenges is to protect the joy of childhood while simultaneously equipping children to face the complex problems in their lives and the world. Our Spring 2023 Collection finds this balance with ebullient stories that foster wisdom and strength.

Building on our strong backlist of social-emotional learning titles, the new Whatever Comes Tomorrow (p. 2) is a lyrical, beautifully illustrated tale that helps kids manage anxiety, while The Perfect Sushi (p. 6) teaches that intention holds more value than perfection.

Babies and toddlers become acquainted with world cultures with our expanding Our World series (p.10) and our newest singalong, Twice As Many Friends (p. 9), celebrates the value of learning new languages. Food for the Future (p. 5) jauntily teaches the future guardians of our planet about sustainable food production, building upon our existing green titles. In this collection, we hope you’ll discover that the many gems in our backlist — together with the exciting titles in our frontlist — create a world in which children can accomplish anything they set their minds to.

Happy browsing,
