"Motherbridge of Love" on TIME's top ten list!
TIME’s 50 Top 10 Lists of 2007
Top 10 Children's Books
By Belinda Luscombe and Amy Lennard Goehner
#3. Motherbridge of Love
by Xinran and Josee Mass
Publisher: Barefoot Books
32 pages
$16.99
“Got a girlfriend who just adopted a kid? You're going to want to get them this book, although the illustration is so gorgeous, you could give it to anyone. The text was submitted anonymously to the charity Mother Bridge of Love, which seeks to connect kids adopted from China with their homeland. As might be expected the sappiness meter is turned to 11, but it does explain quite lyrically how two mothers can each have a part in making one whole child.”

Winter Reading from Barefoot Books
Here in Maine the temperature was *below* zero degrees F...making this a perfect day for staying inside and reading!!
All the wintery ones, like Miracle of the First Poinsettia, Babushka, the Twelve Days of Christmas, the Winter King and the Summer Queen, the Princess and the White Bear King, stories from the Calender of Festivals, and the Barefoot Books Stories from the Opera, and the new Fireside Stories. The Gingerbread Man was a wonderful story to read before making our gingerbread cookies this year, and for evenings by candlelight, The Barefoot Book of Classic Poems is always good reading! (other poetry collections I recommend are First Morning, and Someone I Like)
What's everyone else reading? :)
Peace,
Dawnella

Power of Art
They say that "looking leads to learning", and that is one reason why everyone at Barefoot Books believes that introducing high-quality images to children at an early age, as well as encouraging children to express themselves visually, plays a critical part in their emotional and intellectual development. The Barefoot Storyteller couldn't agree more!
