Putting a spotlight on some of our AMAZING Community Booksellers who are working hard to bring important books to their communities. 🌟Community Bookseller Spotlight 🌟: Cindy Stoecker! ❤️ What’s your favorite Barefoot book? – ‘The Little Red Hen’ retold by Mary Finch and illustrated by Kate Slater. ❤️ How do you bring Barefoot Books to your community? – I sell Barefoot Books in very traditional ways: farmer’s markets, church fairs, apple and strawberry festivals, and to my friends. This summer, I hosted an event at my local library where author Hayley Barrett read ‘The Tiny Baker.’ We had twenty-five 5-10 year old children come to listen, make lady bug crafts, and enjoy a tea party. Another event I started several years ago was story walks at my farm. I am involved with the local Family Resource Centers and they come to the farm with their families and walk our trails and read Barefoot Books. ❤️ Why are you a Barefoot Books Community Bookseller? – I understand the importance of having books available to children, utilizing libraries, reading to them stories that have meaning, talking about how they make us feel, books that take us somewhere, books that make us dream and learn. I love how I feel as people look at Barefoot Books and say these are beautiful books!
