Barefoot Books was started in 1993 by co-founders Nancy Traversy and Tessa Strickland. The idea came when the women wanted to find a way to be close to their children.
Tessa had three children and lived in a farmhouse while Nancy had her second child in 1993, her third in 1995 and her fourth in 1997.

The motivation behind the books were to inspire children by introducing them to other cultures, improving their appreciation for high-quality art and helping them to enjoy music as well as language at a young age.

Impact on the Industry
Barefoot Books has lowered its impact on the environment by printing the paper their books are made from based on sustainable forestry practices, using boats to ship products instead of planes, recycling paper within the organization, minimizing paper by using mostly phone or the internet for communications, buying office supplies from green manufacturers, using energy efficient light bulbs, minimizing travel, and encouraging employees to "go green.”

Discussion of Products
Barefoot Books offers a variety of educational children's products. Some of the products include storytelling books, craft activities, children's art, writing competitions, music CDs, and storybook CDs.
